OPERATION
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 9.
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 motor running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
This trimmer is currently set at the 11 in. cutting swath. To
adjust to a cutting swath of 13 in.:
Remove the battery pack.
Loosen the blade screw then rotate the line cut-off
blade 180°.
Tighten the blade screw.
TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running motor at full speed.
Run the motor at full speed.
Tap the bump 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 motor and manually advance the line.
To advance the cutting line manually:
Remove the battery pack.
Push the bump knob in while pulling on line(s) to manually
advance the line.
