Lengthening the Line
To increase the length of the cutting line, tap the spool on the ground while the trimmer is running.
Note: The blade under the guard will cut the line to the correct length. For information on changing the maximum line length, refer to Adjusting the Maximum Line Length.
Important: Use the following precautions to ensure optimal line performance.
•Do not hold the spool on the ground.
•To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to lengthen line. If additional line is required, wait a few seconds before tapping the trimmer head.
•If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the short line may retract into the cutter head. Should this occur, remove spool, refeed the line through eyelet, and assemble spool to trimmer.
