CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 13.

Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
 If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, STOP
THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove
the grass.
 Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
 Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear line rapidly.
 Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
TRANSPORTING THE UNIT

 Make sure engine and exhaust are cool.
