ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
_ WARNING: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade |

failure and / or unit damage.
The Bump Head TM cutting head
allows the release of trimming line
without stopping the engine. To
release more line, lightly tap the
cutting head on the ground (Fig. 12)
while operating the unit at high
speed.

Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line
releases. A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the proper
length if any excess line is released.
