OPERATION
nThe 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.
nAvoid hitting objects with the line, such as
nNever drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground while trimming.
