Adjusting The Trimming Line
Length
Your trimmer is equipped with a bump head that
allows the operator to release more trimming line
without stopping the motor. To release additional line,
lightly tap the trimming head on the ground (Fig. 9)
while operating the trimmer at high speed.
Note: Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more
difficult as cutting line becomes
shorter.
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch
(25.4 mm) of trimming line is released. A blade in the
string guard will cut the line to the proper length if
excess line is released.
For best results, tap the head on bare ground or hard
soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the
motor may stall.

Decorative Trimming

Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all
vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc.
(Fig. 10).
