while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable
position with the rear handle about hip height. Cut tall grass from
the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the
shaft housing and string head which could cause damage from
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug lead, and remove
the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keeping
clearance between the body and the product. Any contact
with the housing or string trimmer cutting head can result in
burns and/or other serious personal injury.
TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE (REEL EASY LINE HEAD)
See Figure 16.
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass
while running engine at full throttle.
Run engine at full throttle.
Tap the knob on ground to advance string. The string advances
each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on the ground.
NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector will
cut the line to the correct length.
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.
To advance the cutting line manually:
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Push the knob in while pulling on string(s) to manually advance
the line.
NOTE: Pro Cut II line cannot be advanced. To replace the line,
refer to Installing Line in Pro Cut II Line Trimmer Head later in
this manual.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 12a & 12b.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your
body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 11.)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
T he curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
left to right. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing
the unit from right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in
illustration.
U se the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force line trimmer
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
A void trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 5.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the
grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to
length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line whenever you hear
the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency
diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep the line
long enough to advance properly.
