To Increase Line Length

1.   The line trimmer comes with a full line pool. 

2.   The line will wear in use and you will need to 

      feed out new line .

3.   The cutting bump head allows the operator to 

      release more line without stopping the motor. 

      As line becomes frayed or worn, additional 

      line can be released by tapping the bump 

      knob on the ground while operating the 

      line trimmer.

NOTE: 

For a good cutting performance. Cut high 

            grass in stages. Starting from the tip.

 

Special notice for line trimmer use

1.  For best results, do not cut wet grass 

because it tends to stick to the cutting head 

and guard, prevents proper discharge of 

grass trimmings, and could cause you to slip 

and fall.

2.  Pay special attention when performing the 

work close to trees and bushes. The cutting 

head could damage sensitive bark, and 

damage fence posts.
