Adjusting The Maximum Line Length; Replacing Line; Operating Tips - Toro 51346 - 15" Trim& Edge Electric String Weed Trimmer Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Maximum
Line Length
You can change the maximum length of the cutting
line to either cut just inside the metal wire guide (for
trimming next to plants and structures that would be
damaged by the line) or to extend past the guide at
the full cutting swath (for general trimming and
edging).
Caution
The blade under the guard is sharp and can cut
you. Be careful when handling the trimmer so
that you do not accidentally cut yourself.
To shorten the line to cut inside the wire guide, slide
the lever on the guard to the left.
To lengthen the line to cut outside the wire guide at
the full cutting swath, slide the lever on the guard to
the right.
After changing the setting, advance the line by
tapping the spool on the ground.

Operating Tips

To reduce line wear and improve trimming
performance, use the following techniques when
trimming:
• Remove any wire, rope or string-like matter which
could become entangled in the rotating line from
the trimming area.
• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• Slowly move the
trimmer in and out
of the area being
cut.
• Cut grass in excess of eight inches tall or weeds
from the top to the bottom in small increments.
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of
•
the line to do the cutting.
