Before you adjust the height of cut, stop the engine. Wait

for all moving parts to stop. Allow engine to cool and dis-

connect the spark plug wire.

The height of cut can be set from 1.5 to 3 in. [38-76 mm].

Recommended cutting height for the average yard is 2 in.

[51 mm].

1. Use the T-Wrench, found in a parts bag, to loosen the (2)

set screws. (See Figure 10)

NOTE: The (2) set screws are only on one side of the trim-

mer head. If you don’t see the set screws, check the op-

posite side. Both set screws need to be loosened to adjust

the height of the cut.

2. Slide the trimmer head up or down for desired height of

cut.

3. Tighten both set screws to 7-12 foot-pounds (9.5-16.3

Nm).
