OPERATION
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
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.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
ADVANCING STRING USING THE REEL-EASY
™
TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
String advance is controlled by tapping the string head’s
spool retainer on grass while running engine at full throttle.
Run engine at full throttle.
Tap string head on ground to advance string. String
advances each time the head is tapped.
Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut
off blade.
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, disconnect the spark plug wire, and manually
advance the string.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
With the engine off and the spark plug wire disconnected,
push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to
manually advance the string.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 13.
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 when-
ever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when
trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best perfor-
mance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.
