Line Trimming Cut-Off Blade
See Figures 3 - 4.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade
on the debris shield. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal,
or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain
best performance and keep the line long enough to advance
properly.

adjust to a cutting swath of 14 in.:
 Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
 Remove the blade screws.
 Rotate the line cut-off blade 180°.
