OPERATION
ADVANCING LINE (See Figure 9.)
While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line gets worn down and becomes shorter.
This trimmer is equipped with bump feed line advancement, which advances additional line
once the head is bumped on the ground while rotating. The cutting blade will cut the line to
keep an accurate cutting swath.
