cut thick, stalky weeds in excess of unit's
capability. As cutting line wears, for best
performance, lengthen as indicated in
Lengthening Cutting Line procedure.
8.
NEVER drag the trimmer spool on the
ground while trimming (Fig. 11). This causes
motor overload and spool wear.
9.
After each use, feed out some line to prevent line
from retracting into cutting head.
10. Trimmer may be used as a decorative edger by
rotating support handle 180 (Fig. 12).
POTENTIAL HAZARD
When trimmer is used for decorative
edging, objects may be thrown in
operator's or bystander's direction.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects could cause injury to the
operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always wear safety goggles or other
suitable eye protection, long pants and
shoes while operating trimmer.
Keep people and pets away from trimming
area.
GB–7
Lengthening Cutting
Line
1.
To lengthen line, firmly tap spool on the ground
while the motor continues to run. The line will
be fed from the spool and cut off to the proper
length by the cutting knife attached to the shield
(Fig. 13).
Remember to keep the trimmer 'on' while
lengthening the line. Just tap the trimmer on the
ground; do not hold it on the ground. After the line
feeds out, wait until you hear the line being cut to the
proper length before continuing to trim.
Note:
To help prevent line tangle, tap only
once to lengthen line. If additional line
is required, wait a few seconds before
retapping trimmer head. Do not allow
line to wear too short. Keep line length
at full cutting diameter as much as
possible.
2.
Lengthen line only when line has been shortened
by wear. Unnecessary lengthening will waste
line.
Note:
The spool may wear during normal use
of the line advance feature and may
require occasional replacement.
Replacement spools are available
through your TORO retailer. See
page 10 for accessories.
