Operation(continued) Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line releases. A blade in the cutting attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length if any excess line is released. For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. If you attempt a line release in tall grass, the engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.

NOTE: Some maintenance procedures may require special tools or skills. If you are unsure about these procedures take your unit to any nonroad engine repair establishment. To prevent serious injury, never perform maintenance or repairs with unit running. Always service and repair a cool unit.
