Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area. The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 10. Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass. Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

WARNING When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
