>In the meantime, here is what I do.....take the lazy guy in which
ever hand holding the back end or the trimmer's end with my thumb
facing back on the guy......go crouch in front of the forestay,
wait until the pole dips under the forestay and begins to come
back up on the other side, drop the lazy guy in the jaw and trip
it closed pressing the guy down with your thumb. As long as you
hold the line the same way with your thumb pointing back and don't
try to drop the guy into the jaw before it crosses below the
forestay, you should never have an unwelcomed wrap in the jaw.
