OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH

Your brush cutters are equipped with a semi-auto type 
nylon line head, that allows the operator to advance the line 
without stopping the engine. When the line becomes short, 
lightly tap the head on the ground while running the engine 
at full throttle.

Each time the head is bumped, the line advances about 
1 inch (25.4 mm). For better effect, tap the head on bare 
ground or hard soil.
