OPERATION cont.

When trimming, cut from left to right for cutting efficiency; this throws the clippings

away from the operator (Fig. 13).
To edge, rotate the shaft 180° (See Page 20, Figs. 11 and 11a). Place edge guide

wheels and trimmer head above the surface you are going to edge, as shown in Fig. 14.

WARNING:

To avoid injury, DO NOT carry the trimmer with your

finger on the trigger switch.

WARNING:

The operation of any trimmer can result in FOREIGN

OBJECTS BEING THROWN, which can result in personal injury or property

damage. ALWAYS use proper safety equipment.

NOTE: ALWAYS keep the air vents on the trimmer’s head (motor housing)

free of obstructions when operating the trimmer.
