The trimmer uses a 0.155 inch diameter nylon line that auto-feeds when tapped on the ground and the line length is adjustable from 1.5 to 3 inches. The trimmer is designed with an adjustable D-shaped handle with throttle and trimmer head drive controls and includes a debris shield with line length guide. The height of the cutting swath is adjustable as well.
Regular maintenance is required for the Craftsman Trimmer 536.773500 to ensure its optimal performance. The engine oil should be checked before each use and changed after 5 hours of operation when new, then every 25 hours. The air filter should be replaced yearly or more often if used in dusty conditions. The underside of the trimmer should be cleaned often to remove grass buildup and trimmer lines should be replaced when worn to half their original 21.5 inch length. All fasteners should be checked periodically for tightness.
