is an accumulation of debris.
•
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or
lost, repair or replace it.
•
Brush debris away from air intake vents on the back of the

Operating Tips
To reduce line wear and improve trimming performance, use the
following techniques when trimming:
•
Remove any wire, rope or string-like matter which could
become entangled in the rotating line from the trimming area.
•
Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
•
Slowly move the trimmer in and out of the area being cut
(Figure 11).
Figure 11
•
Cut grass in excess of eight inches tall or weeds from the top
to the bottom in small increments.
•
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line
to do the cutting.
