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. NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string. 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.
