CORRECT OPERATING POSITION
SCut only from your right to your left to en- sure debris is thrown away from you. With- out bending over, keep line near and paral- lel to the ground and not crowded into material being cut.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
The cutting head advances line automat- ically. Do not tap head on the ground to advance line. This may break parts and cause cutting head to malfunction.
Always keep the shield in placewhen the tool is being operated.

Line Limiter Pin
After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be cut to the correct length by the line limiter pin as the motor reaches full speed. Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trim- ming. If the noise of the cutting line being cut cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line:
SAllow the motor to stop completely; then, re- start the motor and allow it to reach full speed.
SRepeat until you hear the line hitting against the line limiter pin (do not repeat this proce- dure more than 6 times).
If problems are experienced with the auto- matic line feed, refer to the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING TABLE.
To manually feed the nylon line:
SIf required, the cutting line can be fed out manually.
STo operate, press and release manual line feed button while gently pulling on one of the line until it reaches the line limiter pin.
