Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting (especially along walls). Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine. · Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm. ) by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag. Fig. 10 ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH The Bump HeadTM cutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground (Fig. 11) while operating the trimmer at high speed. NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as cutting line becomes shorter. · Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator. · Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height. Move either in a forwardbackward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results. · Trim only when grass and weeds are dry. · The life of your cutting line is dependent upon; · Following the previous trimming techniques · What vegetation is being cut · Where it's being cut For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.
