CORRECT OPERATING POSITION

ADJUSTING TRIMMER HEIGHT

The height of the trimmer can be adjusted to achieve the most comfortable operating position.

2.Adjust the trimmer to the desired height by moving the motor housing up or down the tube (four height positions available).

3.Release the button. The tube will lock in position.

AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM

When the trimmer is initially started, a small length of cutting line is fed out.

After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be cut to the correct length by the line limiter as the motor reaches full speed.

Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trimming.

If the noise of the cutting line being cut cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out.

To feed more line:

•Allow the motor to stop completely; then, restart the motor and allow it to reach full speed.

•Repeat until you hear the line hitting

against the line limiter (do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times).

If problems are experienced with the automatic line feed, refer to the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING TABLE.

To manually feed the nylon line:

•If required, the cutting line can be fed out manually.

•To operate, press and release manual line feed button while gently pulling on the line until the line reaches the line limiter.
