String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

2.Tap string head on ground to advance string. String advances each time the head is tapped.
3.Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut- off blade.
4.Resume trimming.
NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP THE ENGINE, and manually advance the string.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 10.
■Keep sthe trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
■Do not cut in dangerous cutting area.
■Use the tip of 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, kerbs and wood may wear string rapidly.
■Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings, cladding and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
