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.
CUT OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a 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,
or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain
best performance and keep string long enough to ad-
vance properly.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 9.
■ Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
■ The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit
from right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when
passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid
throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the
dangerous area shown in
Figure 9
.
■ 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, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
■ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
string.
