Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig. 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 housing grip. · The left arm is straight, and the hand is holding the D-handle. · The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the vegetation to be cut without the operator having to bend over. 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. Line release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter. NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head on the ground. CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. 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 TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS · Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
