Line Limiter Blade
After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be cut to the correct length by the line limiter blade as the motor reaches full speed. Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trimming. If the noise of the cutting line being cut cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line:
SAllow the motor to stop completely; then, re-
start the motor and allow it to reach full speed.
SRepeat until you hear the line hitting against the line limiter blade (do not repeat this pro-
cedure more than 6 times).

SIf required, the cutting line can be fed out
manually.
