Kickback and Related Warnings
• Kickback is a sudden re action to a pinched or snagged rotating whee l, backing pad, brush orany
ot her accessory. Pinching or snagg in g causes rapid sta ll ing of the rotat in g accessory which in turn
causes
th e uncontro lle d power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation
at the point of the bindin g.
• Forexample, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can d
ig into the sur fa ce of the material causing the wheel to climb
out
or kick out. The wheelmayeitherjump toward or nway from the operator,depending on direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
• Kickback is the result
of power tool misuse and/or incorre ct operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by
ta king properprecautions as given below.
a) Ne
ve r place your hand near th e rota tin g accesso ry . Accessory may kickback overyour ha nd.
b) Do no t position your bo dy in the ar ea whe re power t oo l will move if k ic kb ack occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite tothe whee l' smovement at the point of snagging.
c) U
so special care wh en working cotners , sh ar p edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
tii o access ory . Corners. sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotat in g accessory
nncl
e< iuse loss of control orkickback.

WARNING &. DANGER
The proper debris shield must be in place on the
unitwhen nylon cutting line is used, The cutting line
can flap around
if too much line is exposed.Always
use the plastic debris shield with cut-offknife when
using nylon cutting heads.
For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the li ne head so
th at contact is made on the part of the li ne circle
where the line is moving away
fr om you and the
debris shield. (See appropriate) This results in the
debris being thrown away
fr om you.
WARNING & DANGER
Tilting the head to the wrong side will s ho ot the
debris TOWARDS you. If the line head is held flat to
t
he ground so that cutting occurs on the whole line
circle, debris will be
THROW N at you, drag will sl ow
the engine down, and you will use up a lot of line.
WARNING & DANGER
Use only quality nylon monofilament li ne of the
diameter 2.5mm, N
eve r use wi re or wire-reinforced
line in place
of nylon trimmer li ne . Load your n yl on
line cutting head only
wi th nylon trimmer line of t he
proper diameter.

TRIMM IN G:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the
material you wish
to cut. Tilt the head slowly to
direct debris away from you. If cutting up to a
barri
er such as fence, wall or tree, approach
from an angle where any debris ricocheting off
the barrier will fly away from you, Move the line
head slowly until the grass is cut right up t
he
barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the li ne into
the barrier. If trimming up to a wire mesh
or
chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to
wire. If you go to far the line will snap off around
t
he wire. Trimming can be done to c ut through
weed stems one at a time. Place the trimmer
line head near the bottom
of the weed-never
high up which could cause the weed to chatter
and catch the l
in e. Rath er than cut t he weed
right through, just use the very end of the line to
wear through the stem slowly.
WARNING Lt. DANGER
Do not to use a steel blade fo r edg ing or scalping.
SCALPING AND EDG IN G:
B ot h of th ese are done with the 1 :n e h ead t i!t edat a
steep angle Scalping is removing top growth
leaving theearth bea
r.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has
spread over a sidewalk or drive way. During both
edging
and scalping, ho ld the unit at a steep angle
and in a
po si ti on wh ere the debris, and any
dis
lod ging dir t and stones, will not come back
towards you
eve n if it ri coch ets offthe hard surf ace.
Although the pic tu re shows how to edge and scalp
every operator must
find for himself the angles
which suits his body size and cuttingsituation.
WARNING& DANGER
Do not trim in any area wherethere are strands
of fencing wire. Wear protective sa fety
equipment. Do not cut where you cannot see 1
what the cutting device is cutting. j
