,_ WARNING"
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the product. Any
contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head can
result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE (REEL EASY
STRING HEAD)
String advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
[] Run engine at full throttle.
[] Tap the knob on ground to advance string. The string
advances each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the
knob on the ground.
NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector
will cut the line to the correct length.
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, and manually advance the string.
To advance the cutting line manually:
[] Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
[] Push the knob in while pulling on string(s) to manually
advance the string.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 16 -17.
[] Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 15.)
[] 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 leftto right. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown
in illustration.
[] Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
[] Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
[] Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will
maintain best performance and keep the string long enough
to advance properly.
