OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS
Inspect and clear the area to be trimmed for any
■
rocks, broken glass or wire that could be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting line. Trim only when
grass or weeds are dry. Keep the cutting line parallel
to the ground.
Cut grass or weeds over 20 cm tall from the top to the
■
bottom in small amounts. This will prevent grass
becoming wrapped around the trimmer head
assembly, which may result in damage due to
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the
trimmer head assembly, stop the trimmer, unplug it
and remove the grass.
Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you
■
are cutting, keeping the trimmer at the desired cutting
height.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force
■
the trimmer head assembly into uncut grass.
Feed out some line after each use to prevent the line
■
from retracting into the cutting head.
The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this
■
reduces the cutting swath. If the line is not advanced
occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the
trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may retract
into the trimmer head assembly. Should this occur,
unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed the line
through the eyelets and reassemble the spool.
Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link
■
fences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear.
Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground
■
while trimming.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE (Fig. 9)
The trimmer includes the EZ Line
Follow these steps to advance the cutting line
automatically.
Tap the bump knob (22) lightly on the ground while
■
the motor is running. Do not hold the bump knob on
the ground.
Note: The line cutting off blade (23) on the safety
guard will cut the line to the proper length.
Note: To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to
lengthen the line. If additional line is required, wait a
few seconds before retapping the bump knob. Keep
the line length at or near full cutting diameter.

SAFETY GUARD LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE (Fig. 10)
This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off
blade (23) on the safety guard. For best cutting, advance
line until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade.
Advance line whenever you hear the engine running
faster than normal. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
MAINTENANCE

resecure the lines in the tabs.
Insert the lines on the new spool into the eyelets in
■
the trimmer head.
Place the spool on the drive shaft (26).
■
Note: To install the spool, you may need to rotate it
slightly.
Note: If the line should tangle or break at the eyelets,
remove the spool, refeed the line through the eyelets
and reassemble the spool on the trimmer.
Release the lines from the tabs by sharply pulling
■
each line while pushing down on the spool.
