Lengthening the Line
To increase the length of the cutting line, tap the spool on the
ground while the trimmer is running (Figure 8).
Note: The blade under the guard will cut the line to the correct
length.
Figure 8
Important: Use the following precautions to ensure
optimal line performance:
•
Do not hold the spool on the ground.
•
To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to lengthen line. If
additional line is required, wait a few seconds before tapping
the trimmer head.
•
If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down
to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the short line may
retract into the cutter head. Should this occur, remove
spool, refeed the line through eyelet, and assemble spool to
trimmer.
Operating Tips
To reduce line wear and improve trimming performance, use the
following techniques when trimming:
•
Remove any wire, rope or string-like matter which could
become entangled in the rotating line from the trimming area.
•
Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
•
Slowly move the trimmer in and out of the area being cut
(Figure 9).
Figure 9
•
Cut grass in excess of eight inches tall or weeds from the top
to the bottom in small increments.
•
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line
to do the cutting.
