OPERATION
NOTICE:
Failure to attach the grass deflector prevents the
line being cut to the proper length and can cause
tool failure.
Resume trimming.
ADJUSTING THE LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 11.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass
deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to
length by the line cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you
hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
