ADVANCING STRINGS

NOTE:The trimmer is equipped with an autofeed head. bumping the head to try to advance the
line will damage trimmer and void warranty.
• With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
• Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The strings will extend approximately 1/4" (1/2 cm) with each stop-and-start of the switch
trigger until the strings reach the length of the grass deflector blade.
• Resume trimming.

ADVANCING THE STRINGS MANUALLY

Disconnect the string trimmer from the power supply, then push the spool retainer button in
while pulling on strings to manually advance the strings.

CUT-OFF BLADE

This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance
strings until they are trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance strings whenever you hear
the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain
best performance and keep strings long enough to advance properly.

CUTTING TIPS

• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
• The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing
debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area.
• use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls,
curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be
damaged by the strings.
!
WARNING: Always hold the string trimmer away from the
body, keeping clearance between the body and the string
trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
