does this unit have the tap on the ground to let string out
1 answer-
ProductExpert29· 5 years ago
This Stihl KombiMotor is just the powerhead. The trimmer is not included as this is designed for use with multiple tools such as a trimmer, edger, or pruner. Please see our item #63936 for a trimmer attachment that would work. The attachment has a TapAction head and would advance the cutting line when tapped on the ground.
