OPERATION

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, and manually advance the string.

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to
manually advance the string.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figure 6.

Q

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.

Q

Do not cut in dangerous cutting area.

Q

Use the tip of string to do the cuttingdo not force string
head into uncut grass.

Q

Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may
wear string rapidly.

Q

Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
cladding and fence posts can easily be damaged by
the string.

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-
OFF BLADE

See Figure 7.

This trimmer is equipped with a line-trimming cut-off blade
on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string until
it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal.
This will maintain best performance and keep string long
enough to advance properly.
