ADJUSTING THE TRIMMING LINE LENGTH Your trimmer is equipped with a bump head that allows the operator to release more trimming line without stopping the engine. To release additional line, lightly tap the trimming head on the ground (Fig. 17) while operating the trimmer at high speed. Fig. 17 NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as cutting line becomes shorter. EDGING The Split Boom® coupler can be used for edging (Fig. Loosen the wing screws, rotate the boom to a 90-degree angle and retighten the wing screws. NOTE: When edging, twist the boom, not the engine, to the proper angle. Each time the head is bumped, about 25. 4 mm (1 in) of trimming line is released. A blade in the weed guard will cut the line to the proper length if excess line is released. For best results, tap the head on bare ground or hard soil. This model accepts attachments. One of the available attachments is an edger. See page 10 for the list of other available attachments. 11 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE These required maintenance procedures should be performed at the frequency stated in the table.
