OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 5)
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle
and the left hand on the left 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.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from
the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
around the shaft housing and bump head which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the bump 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 silencer.

ADVANCING THE LINE

ADVANCING LINE USING THE EZ LINE™ TAP
ADVANCE SYSTEM
Line advance is controlled by tapping the bump head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
Run engine at full throttle.
■
Tap bump head on the ground to advance line.
■
Line advances each time the head is tapped.
Several taps may be required until line strikes the
■
cut off blade.
Resume trimming.
■
Note: If the line is worn too short you may not be
able to advance the line by tapping it on the ground.
If so, STOP THE ENGINE, and manually advance
the line.
ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY
Push the bump head down while pulling on line(s) to
manually advance the line.
CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 6)

■

English
Do not cut in dangerous cutting area (23).
■
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force
■
bump head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
■
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
■
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by
the line.
SAFETY GUARD LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE (Fig. 7)
This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off
blade on the safety guard. For best cutting, advance line
until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal. This will maintain best performance and keep
line long enough to advance properly.
