OPERATION

ADVANCING THE STRING

ADVANCING STRING USING THE EZ LINE™ TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM

String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

1.Run engine at full throttle.

2.Tap string head on ground to advance string. String advances each time the head is tapped.

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

4.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, and manually advance the string.

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figure 6.

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.

Do not cut in dangerous cutting area.

Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.

Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may wear string rapidly.

Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings, cladding and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT- OFF BLADE

See Figure 7.

This trimmer is equipped with a line-trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal. This will maintain best performance and keep string long enough to advance properly.
