LINE
The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this
reduces the cutting swath. If the line is not advanced
occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When
the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may
retract into the trimmer head assembly. Should this
occur, unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed
the line through the eyelets, and reassemble the
spool.
Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link
fences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear.
Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the
ground while trimming.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE AUTO-
MATICALLY
See Figure 9.
The trimmer includes the EZ Line™ Tap Advance
System.
Follow these steps to advance the cutting line
automatically.
Press the trigger.
Tap the retaining cap lightly on the ground while the
motor is running. Do not hold the retaining cap on
the ground.
NOTE: The line cutting blade on the grass deflector
will cut the line to the proper length.
NOTE: To help prevent line tangle, tap only once to
lengthen the line. If additional line is required, wait a
few seconds before retapping the retaining cap.
Keep the line length at or near full cutting diameter.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
MANUALLY
See Figure 10.
If the cutting line wears to less than the recommended
length, you may not be able to lengthen it by tapping the
retaining cap.
Follow these steps to advance the cutting line manually.
Release the trigger and allow the trimmer to coast to
a stop.
Unplug the trimmer.
Pull sharply on the line while pushing down on the
retaining cap.
