OPERATING THE TRIMMER
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and
the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
See Figure 3.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from
the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around
the shaft and string head which may cause damage from
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string
head, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will
result in oil dripping from the muffler.
ADVANCING THE STRING
ADVANCING STRING USING THE EZ LINE™ TAP
ADVANCE SYSTEM
String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass
while running engine at full throttle.
1
Run engine at full throttle.
2
Tap string head on ground to advance string. String
advances each time the head is tapped.
3
Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut
off blade.
4
Resume trimming.
NOTE:
If the string is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop
the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and manually
advance the string.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to
manually advance the string.
