BLOWER FUNCTION
(FIGURE 10)
The air flow created by the motor funnels
up through the guard to provide a built-in
blower. This feature can be used to blow
grass clippings off of sidewalks and other
hard surface areas.
CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm)
diameter, ROUND nylon line. During
use, the tips of the nylon lines will
become frayed and worn and the
special self feeding line hub will
automatically feed and trim a fresh
length of line. Cutting line will wear
faster and require more feeding if the
cutting or edging is done along
sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces
or heavier weeds are being cut. The
