CUTTING TIPS

Figure 9.
• Tilt the machine toward the area to be cut. Use the tip of
the cutting line to cut grass.
• Move the machine from right to left to prevent thrown
debris toward the operator.
• Do not cut in the dangerous area.
• Do not force the trimmer head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences cause cutting line wear and
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood can
wear the cutting line quickly.
5.7 ADJUST THE LENGTH OF THE
CUTTING LINE
Figure 11.
While you operate the machine, the cutting line gets worn and
shorter. You can adjust the length of the cutting line.
1. Hit the trimmer head against the ground while you
operate the machine.
2. Line is automatically released and the cut-off blade cuts
the excess length.
5.8 ADJUST THE CUTTING
DIAMETER
Figure 12.
The machine is set at a 356 mm cutting diameter. You can
adjust to a 406 mm cutting diameter.
Set the cutting diameter to 356 mm for greater runtime and
406 mmfor a larger cutting area.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the blade screws from the cut-off blade.
3. Turn the cut-off blade 180°.
4. Tighten the blade screws.

LINE CUT-OFF BLADE

Figure 12.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the
guard. The line cut off blade continuously trims the line to
ensure a consistent and efficient cut diameter. Advance line
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or
when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best
performance and keep line long enough to advance properly.
