5.5 ADJUST THE LENGTH OF THE CUTTING LINE

Figure
NOTE
The machine has an auto-feed head. If the cutting line does not automatically advance, it can be tangled or empty.

1. Start the machine and keep 3s. Release the trigger until the machine totally stops.
2. Repeat the above step until you can hear the line-cutting noise.

NOTE
The line will extend approximately 1 cm with each stop and start of the switch trigger until the line reaches the cut-off blade and the cut-off blade cuts the excess length.
NOTE
Do not pull or release the trigger too fast.
NOTE
It will damage the machine if you hit the head to try to advance the line.
5.6 LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
Figure 1.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the guard. The line cut off blade continuously trims the line to ensure a consistent and efficient cut diameter. Advance line whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.
