CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in good condition, with 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 a loss of power, as well as overheating. The table shown above illustrates the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier size line gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. To prevent the cord from disconnecting from the unit, use the cord hook shown in the Operating Instructions.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) that will be used for the unit. Use receptacles with built-in GFCI protection for an extra measure of safety.

Do not abuse the power cord. Never carry the unit by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.

A nameplate on your unit indicates the voltage used. Never connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.

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. Repair or replace the cords if any defects appear.

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 handle the plug or the unit with wet hands.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE CORD

Use the cord hook when connecting the extension cord to the power cord outlet. This helps prevent any disconnection.

1.Make a narrow loop with the extension cord.

2.Push the loop through the opening and move it onto the hook on the motor housing (Fig. 6).

3.Plug the cord properly into the socket.

Only use outdoor-approved extension cords. Cord sets are specified in the Important Safety Information section.

HOLDING THE UNIT

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig. 8). Check for the following:

The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing

With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s hand is holding the shaft grip

The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand holding the D-handle

The unit is at waist level

The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over

Fig. 6

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

Once the unit is plugged in, stand in the operating position (Fig. 8). Squeeze the trigger to start the unit. To stop the unit, release the trigger (Fig. 7).

WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot and

body protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.

ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH

The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the motor. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 9) 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

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

8

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. If you attempt a line release in tall grass, the motor may stop. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.

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

CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade

assembly. Excessive line length will make the motor overheat. This may lead to serious personal injury or damage to the unit.

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

Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left 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 trimming techniques previously explained

What vegetation is cut

Where vegetation is 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 and more.

Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 10).

Fig. 9

TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS

• 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 motor.

Fig. 10

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