TRIMMER/EDGER OPERATION
ADVANCING TRIMMER LINE
WARNING:
Blade is sharp. To prevent seri-
ous injury, do not touch blade.
To advance new trimmer/edger line, tap the
line advance button on the ground while the
trimmer/edger is running (See Figure 21). The
blade attached to the cutting guard will cut the
line to the proper length.

Follow the precautions below to ensure top line
performance.
• Do not hold the line advance button on the
ground. This will allow trimmer/edger line
to constantly feed off the spool.
• Tap the line advance button only once to
advance line. If more line is needed, wait a
few seconds and tap again.
• Be sure to advance the line as it wears down.
If you wait too long to advance new line, the
existing line will wear down too short and
can retract into the spool. If this happens,
remove the spool and reroute the line out
of the spool. Reinstall the spool to the spool
housing.
REPLACING TRIMMER/EDGER
LINE
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal in-
jury, never use metal-reinforced
line, wire, or rope, etc. These can
break off and become a danger-
ous projectile.
CAUTION:
Use of line other than specifi ed
could cause personal injury or
product failure.

ment line of 0.065 inch in diameter. You can
purchase replacement line at most lawn and
garden stores.
