OPERATION
ADVANCING LINE (See Fig. 35)
This trimmer uses a line advance system which requires the operator to tap or bump the trimmer head
on the grass while running the engine at full throttle.
■ Run the engine at full throttle.
■ Tap the trimmer head on the ground to advance the line. With each tap, the line advances further. A
firm but gentle motion should be used when tapping the line on the ground (Fig. 35). DO NOT keep
the trimmer head pressed against the ground.
NOTICE: The cutting blade on the underside of the debris guard will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTICE: Line that is too short may not advance using the tapping method and may need to be done
manually.
To advance the cutting line manually:
■ Stop the engine completely.
■ Push the spool cover in while pulling on the line, until you reach the desired length.
NOTE: After each use, clean the trimmer head with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
