OPERATION
NOTE: The line trimming
NOTE: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop the engine and manually advance the line.
To advance the cutting line manually:
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Push the knob in while pulling on line(s) to manually
advance the line.
NOTE: Dual Spool™ Fixed Line Adaptor line cannot be advanced. To replace the line, refer to Installing Line in Dual Spool™ Fixed Line String Head Insert later in this manual.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 16.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 15.)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in illustration.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 17.

or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.
