[. . . ] Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height. Always operate trimmer at full throttle. This will prevent grass from wrapping round the shaft housing and string head, which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped round the string head, stop the engine, disconnect the sparking plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the silencer. FILLING THE TANK 1. Clean surface round fuel cap to prevent contamination. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap. Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage. 11 OPERATION CUTTING TIPS See Figure 10. Keep sthe trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area. 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, kerbs and wood may wear string rapidly. Tree bark, wood mouldings, cladding and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string. DANGEROUS CUTTING AREA Fig. 9 ADVANCING THE STRING ADVANCING STRING USING THE EZ LINETM TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass while running engine at full throttle. Tap string head on ground to advance string. String advances each time the head is tapped. Several taps may be required until string strikes the cutoff blade. 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. ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string. [. . . ] Pull strings while alternately pressing down on and releasing spool retainer. Refer to "String Replacement" earlier in this manual. Operate trimmer at full throttle. Spool retainer hard to turn: Clean threads and lubricate with grease - if no improvement, replace spool retainer. Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle oil mix. [. . . ]
