away.
NOTE: A protective cover is used over the cut-off
knife. Remove this protective cover before operating.

tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and cutting
head, which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped round the cutting head,
stop the engine, and remove the grass. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping
from the silencer.

As the end of the line wears away, more line must be
released from the cutting-line head. Your trimmer
is factory equipped with a semi-automatic (bump
feed) cutting-line head. Line must be released from
the cutting head while it is spinning rapidly. With
the engine and cutting head running at full speed,
tap the spool on hard, bare ground. Do not tap the
cutting-line head on pavement or concrete. Each tap
releases about 2 inches of line. (See Fig. S)
