OPERATION

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.

ADVANCING STRING USING THE REEL-EASYTAP ADVANCE SYSTEM

String advance is controlled by tapping the string head’s spool retainer on grass while running engine at full throttle.

Run engine at full throttle.

Tap string head on ground to advance string. String

advances­ each time the head is tapped.

Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut off blade.

Resume trimming.

NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and manually advance the string.

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

With the engine off and the spark plug wire disconnected, push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE

See Figure 13.

The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line when- ever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best perfor- mance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.
