•Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults unfamiliar with the instructions to use the unit. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.

•All guards and safety attachments must be installed properly before operating the unit.

•Inspect the unit before use.

•Clear the area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the attachment.

•Use only 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) diameter Genuine Factory Parts™ replacement line. Never use metalreinforced line, wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

•This unit was not designed to be used as a brushcutter. Do not attach or operate this unit with any type of brushcutting blade or brushcutting attachment.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR GAS POWERHEADS AND STRAIGHT SHAFT TRIMMER

WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take the following precautions:

•Store fuel only in containers specifically designed and approved for the storage of such materials.

•Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank, or add fuel, when the engine is hot. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place. Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.

•Mix and add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area outdoors where there are no sparks or flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only after stopping engine. Do not smoke while fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel from the unit immediately.

•Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.

•Move the unit at least 30 feet (9.1 m) from the fueling source and site before starting the engine. Do not smoke. Keep sparks and open flames away from the area while adding fuel or operating the unit.

•Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Operate this unit only in a well ventilated area outdoors.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC POWER HEADS AND STRAIGHT SHAFT TRIMMER

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only extension cords approved for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A. Extension cords are available from your local retailer. Use only round-jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

•CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good condition. When using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that your unit will draw. An undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. See the operator’s manual for the unit that will power this add-on for the recommended cord size.

•Inspect all extension cords and the unit power connection periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Also inspect the connections for damage. Replace the cords if any defects or damage appear.

•Prevent disconnection of the straight shaft trimmer powerhead from extension cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle retaining strap, connector, or by making a knot as shown below:

Extension	Straight Shaft	Extension	Straight Shaft
Cord	Trimmer Cord	Cord	Trimmer Cord

•Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate your unit in damp or wet conditions. Moisture is a shock hazard.

•Do not use the unit in the rain. Do not use in or around water.

•Do not handle the plug or unit with wet hands or standing on any wet surfaces.

•Do not leave the unit plugged in when not in use, changing attachments or add-ons, or while being serviced.

WHILE OPERATING

•Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, at least 50 ft (15 m) away.

•Do not operate the engine faster than the speed needed to do the job. Do not run the engine at high speed when not in use.

•Always stop the engine/motor when operation is delayed or when walking from one location to another.

.• If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop the engine/motor immediately and check for damage. Have any damage repaired before attempting further operations.

•Stop the unit IMMEDIATELY if you feel excessive vibration. Vibration is a sign of trouble. Inspect thoroughly for loose nuts, bolts or damage before continuing. Repair or replace affected parts as necessary.

•Stop and switch the unit to off for maintenance, repair, or for changing add-ons or other attachments. The unit must be stopped and the cutting head no longer turning to avoid injury.

•Use only Genuine Factory Parts™ and accessories for this unit. These are available from your authorized service dealer. Use of any unauthorized parts or accessories could lead to serious injury to the user or damage to the unit, and void your warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

HOLDING THE TRIMMER

WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and body protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Figs. 4 & 5). Check for the following:

•The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing.

•The right arm is slightly bent, and the hand is holding the shaft grip.

•The left arm is straight, and the hand is holding the D-handle or J-handle.

•The unit is at waist level.

•The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the vegetation to be cut without the operator having to bend over.

ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH

The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 6) while operating the trimmer at high speed.

NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as cutting line becomes shorter.

NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head™ on the ground while the unit is running.

Some line breakage will occur from:

•Entanglement with foreign matter

•Normal line fatigue

•Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds

•Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts

TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS

•For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.

•Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.

•Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine.

•Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag.

•Cut from left to right whenever possible. Cutting to the right improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator.

•Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height. Move either in a forwardbackward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results.

•Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.

•The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:

•Following the previous trimming techniques

•What vegetation is being cut

•Where it’s being cut

For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.

DECORATIVE TRIMMING

Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 7).

Fig. 6

Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm.) of trimming line is released. A blade in the cutting attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length if excess line is released.

For best results, tap the Bump Head™ on bare ground or
hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the
engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.	Fig. 7
	Fig. 7

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

LINE INSTALLATION FOR THE SPEEDSPOOL®

Always use Genuine Factory Parts™ 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) replacement line. Line other than specified may make the engine overheat or fail.

Winding the Inner Reel With New Line

NOTE: It is unnecessary to remove the bump knob to install new trimming line.

1.Cut two pieces of 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) trimming line, 10 feet (3 m) long.

WARNING: Always use the correct line length when installing trimming line on the unit. The line may not release properly if the line is too long.

2.Hold the outer spool and turn the inner reel counterclockwise to line up the arrows on the outer spool and inner reel (Fig. 8).

3.Pull old line out of the line loading and line locking holes (Figs. 9 and 10).

4.Insert a piece of trimming line into one of the two eyelets in the outer spool. Push it up through the line loading hole in the inner reel (Fig. 9). Do not bend the line when inserting it into the eyelet.
