ADJUSTING THE LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 13.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass
deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to
length by the line cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you
hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
This trimmer is currently set at the 12 in. cutting swath. To
adjust to a cutting swath of 10 in.:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Loosen the blade screw then rotate the line cut-off
blade 180°.
 Tighten the blade screw.
WARNING:
The line cut-off blade on the grass deflector is sharp. Use
gloves while working with the blade. Direct contact with
the blade can result in serious personal injury.
