Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 2.0 mm diameter nylon line. Cutting line
will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting is done
along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are
beingcut.
As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear.
Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while running at
normal speed and the line willfeed.
NOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 380mm swath will
negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of the
trimmer due to potential of damaging motor. Doing so may
void thewarranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips
• Use the tip of the 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.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or othersurfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
380mmhigh.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cuttingarea.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at theoperator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by thestring.
