CUT OFF BLADE This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance strings until they are trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance strings whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep strings long enough to advance properly. CUTTING TIPS See Figure 7.  Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.  The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 8.  Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.  Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.  Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the strings.
