ADJUSTING
TRIMMING
LINE LENGTH
_
ARNING"
Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade
assembly. Excessive line length will cause premature engine
failure and / or unit damage.
The Bump Head
TM
cutting head
allows the release of trimming line
without stopping the engine. To
release more line, lightly tap the
cutting head on the ground (Fig.
11) while operating the unit at high
speed.
NOTE:
Always keep the
trimming line fully
extended. Line release
becomes
more difficult
when the cutting line
gets shorter.
Fig. 11
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line
releases. A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the proper
length if any excess line is released.
