Starting for the first time and operation

1. 

You will need to exert a certain force to pull out the line 
when the trimmer is used for the first time. To do so, press 
on the push button (Fig. 9) and pull out the line to the edge 
of the guard hood.

2. 

The line will be cut to the correct length the first time the 
cutting head is started. A short, worn nylon line will result  
in poor cutting performance. 

3. 

To restore the correct line length, press the trimmer against 
the ground while the cutting head is running. 

4. 

The length of the line will then adjust automatically 
(Fig. 10).
