line (D13). Tap the bumper on a firm ground while the machine is operating, the spool

trimming guard (D14) and it cuts the line to a preset length.
Cutting/trimming tips
WARNING! Avoid contacting the cutting blade with stones, wire, glass, etc.
that may cause injury to the operator. Inspect the cutting blade regularly for
damage, cracks or breaks.
WARNING! When working with the cutting blade, there is always a risk of
kickback if the cutting head comes into contact with a hard object. Kickback
will cause the sudden stalling of the cutting head, which in turn results in the
cutting head being forced in the opposite direction to the rotation of the cutting
blade. Ensure that you retain a firm grip with both hands. In an event of a
kickback retain a firm stance to avoid injuries.
> Always hold the machine firmly with both hands on the front handle (A14) and rear
handle (A9). Never operate this machine using only one hand.
> Maintain a firm grip with your thumbs and fingers encircling the handle. A firm grip
will help you reduce 'kickback' and maintain control of the machine.
> Stand upright, do not lean forward and pay attention to the posture. Keep both feet
apart to help retain body balance.
> Carefully plunge the cutting attachment from above when cutting long undergrowth.
> Move the cutting attachment towards the base of young trees or thicker vegetation.
