Cutting Tips; Starting And Stopping - Ryobi C430 Manual Del Operador

TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE (REEL EASY
STRING HEAD)
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
 Run engine at full throttle.
 Tap the knob on ground to advance line. The line advances
each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on
the ground.
NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector
will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTE: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop the
engine and manually advance the line.
To advance the cutting line manually:
 Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
 Push the knob in while pulling on line(s) to manually
advance the line.
NOTE: Dual Spool
Fixed Line Adaptor line cannot be ad-
™
vanced. To replace the line, refer to Installing Line in Dual
Spool Fixed Line Adaptor later in this manual.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figures 10 -11.
 Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 9.)
 Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
 The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing
the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown
in illustration.
 Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
 Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear line rapidly.
 Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 12.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade
on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal,
or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain
best performance and keep the line long enough to advance
properly.
