tip of the cutting line to cut grass.
• Move the machine from right to left to prevent
thrown debris from hitting the operator.

12.7 LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade
on the guard. The line cut off blade continuously
trims the line to ensure a consistent and efficient cut
diameter. 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.
