The trimmer includes the EZ Line™ Tap Advance

System.

Follow these steps to advance the cutting line automatically.

1.Press the trigger and run at full speed.

2.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.
