OPERATION
OPERATING THE TRIMMER See Figure 4.
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a
firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft and string head,
which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, stop the
engine, remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply, and remove the grass.
NOTE:When the attachment is being used on a trimmer with a gasoline engine, always operate at full
throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler.
ADVANCING THE STRING
ADVANCING STRING USING THE LINE TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass whilerunning engine at full throttle.
1 Run engine at full throttle.
2 Tap string head on ground to advance string. String advances each time the head is tapped.
3 Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut off blade.
4 Resume trimming.
NOTE:If the string is worn too short you short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it
on the ground. If so, stop the engine, remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply,
and manually advance the string.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
Push the spoolretainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.
CUTTING TIPS See Figure 5.
1. Keepthe trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
2. Do not cut in dangerous cutting area.
3. Use thetip of string to do the cutting;do not force string head into uncut grass.
4. Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
5. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark , wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by thestring.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE See Figure 6.
This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting,
advance string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you hear the
engine running faster than normal. This will maintain best performance and keep string long enough to
advance properly.

MAINTENANCE
You may make adjustments and repairs described in the maintenance section. For other repairs, have the
unit serviced by an authorized servicing dealer.
SPOOL REPLACEMENT LINE TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
NEW PREWOUND SPOOL
See Figures 7 and 8.
If replacing string only, refer to “String Replacement ” later in this manual.
Use only .080 in (2.0 mm) diameter monofilament string.
Use the manufacturer’s replacement parks for best performance.
1 Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply. Hold the string
head and unscrew the spoolretainer. Turn clockwise.
2Remove the empty spool from the string head. Use the spring from the empty spool if one is not
ovided with the new spool and string.
3To install the new spool, make sure the two strings are captured in the slots opposite each other on
the new spool. Make sure the ends of each string are extended approximately 6 in. (152 mm) beyond
each slot.
4Thread the strings into the eyelets in the sting head. Carefully push the spool the spool into the string
head (gently pull the strings to the outside if necessary). When the spool is positioned in the string
head, grasp the strings and pull sharply to release them from the slots in the spool.
5Push down and turn the spool counterclockwise until it no longer turns. Hold the spool down and
rotate clockwise a small amount. Release the spool. The spool should be locked down in string head.
If not, hold down and rotate until locked.
6Make sure the string head and the spoolretainer are installed o the shaft by turning the retainer
counterclockwise to tighten.
7Pull the strings again to rotate the spool into cutting position. Push the spoolretainer down while
pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string and to check for proper assembly of the string
head.
STRING REPLACEMENT
See Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12.
1 Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply. Hold the string
head and unscrew the spool from the string head.
2 Remove the spool from the string head.
NOTE:Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove any old string remaining on the spool.
3 Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately 9 ft. (2.7 m ) long.
4 Insert the first string into the anchor hole the upper part of the spool. Wind the first string around the
upper part of the spool counterclockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool. Place string in the
slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 6 in. (152 mm ) extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill.
After winding the string, there should be at least 1/4 in. (6mm) between the wound string and the
outside edge of the spool.
5 Repeat above step with second string, using the bottom part of spool. Do not overfill.
6 Replace the spool and the spoolretainer. Refer to “Spool Replacement” earlier in this manual.
