CUTTING TIPS See Figure 7.
„ Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
„ The trimmer will cut better when moved from left to
right across the area to be cut; it is less effective when
moved from right to left.
„ Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
„ Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear cutting line rapidly.
„ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
cutting line.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE
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.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the
grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade. Advance
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will
maintain best performance and keep line long enough to
