OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 5)
Hold the product 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. The product should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate the product at full throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the silencer. Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and bump head which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the bump head, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.

CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 6)

• Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 5.)
• Keep the product tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
• The product cuts when passing the product from right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in illustration.
• Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage.
• Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

ADVANCING THE LINE (Fig. 7)

For Reel Easy™ only
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

• Run engine at full throttle.
• Tap the knob on ground to advance string. The string advances each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on the ground.
  NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector will cut the line to the correct length.
  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.

TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY:

• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead.
• Push the knob in while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the line.
