OPERATION
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 (26) down while pulling on
string(s) to manually advance the string.
CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 6)
Keep the trimmer tilted towards the area being cut;
this is the best cutting area (B).
Do not cut in dangerous cutting area (A).
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 CUTOFF
BLADE (Fig. 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.
