    NOTE: Keep a firm grip with both hands during operation. Place the trimmer on the right side of your body with the engine behind and away from your body. Press the trigger to start the trimmer.
  • Page 11 If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may retract into the trimmer head assembly. Should this occur, unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed the line through the eyelets, and reassemble the spool.
  • Page 12 CUT OFF BLADE This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal.
