Homelite UT41002A Advancing the Cutting Line AUTO- Matically, Advancing the Cutting Line Manually

OPERATION

The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this reduces the cutting swath. 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.

Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link fences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear.

Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground while trimming.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE AUTO- MATICALLY

See Figure 9.

The trimmer includes the EZ Line™ Tap Advance System.

Follow these steps to advance the cutting line automatically.

Press the trigger.

Tap the retaining cap lightly on the ground while the motor is running. Do not hold the retaining cap on the ground.

NOTE: The line cutting blade on the grass deflector will cut the line to the proper length.

NOTE: To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to lengthen the line. If additional line is required, wait a few seconds before retapping the retaining cap.

Keep the line length at or near full cutting diameter.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE

MANUALLY

Unplug the trimmer.

Pull sharply on the line while pushing down on the retaining cap.
