This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass
deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed
to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you
hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep string long enough to advance properly.
