ADJUSTING THE CUTTING LINE
LENGTH
The trimmer head allows the operator to release more cutting
line without stopping the motor. As line becomes frayed or
worn, additional line can be released by lightly tapping the
trimmer head on the ground while operating the trimmer
(Fig.19).
WARNING:
Do not remove or alter the line-cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the
motor to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
For best results, tap the trimmer head on bare ground or hard soil. Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter. Replace the line when
necessary. Details, please see section "LINE REPLACEMENT".
Tips for best trimming results
(Fig.20)
◾ The correct angle for the cutting
attachment is parallel to the ground.
◾ Do not force the trimmer. Allow the
very tip of the line to do the cutting
(Especially along walls). Cutting with more
than the tip will reduce cutting efficien cy and
may overload the motor.
◾ The cutting height is determined by the distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
◾ Grass over 8 inches (200 mm) should be cut by working from top to the bottom in
small increments to avoid premature line wear.
◾ Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the cutting head position at the
desired cutting height. This movement can be either a forward-backward motion or a side-to-side
motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
◾ Avoid trimming when grass and weeds are wet.
◾ Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear cutting line rapidly.
◾ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
cutting line.
LINE REPLACEMENT
NOTICE: Always use the recommended nylon cutting line with a diameter that does not exceed 2.4 mm. Using
line other than that specified may cause the tool to overheat or become damaged.
1. Press the "PUSH" button on trimmer head to disassemble the release tabs inward to unlock them from the upper
cover, and then pull out the spool retainer, double the line and hang it and rotate it on the spool retainer, (Fig.
