OPERATION
To advance the cutting line manually:
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Push the knob in while pulling on line(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 String Head later
in this manual.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 9 -10.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 8.)
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 illustration.
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.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 11.
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.
