2. To return to trimming position, Press the convert-to-edge
button 
 10 
and rotate the motor housing 
clockwise back to its original position.
nOTE: You will experience faster than normal cutting line
wear if the trimmer line is positioned directly over the
sidewalk or abrasive surface.
Edging Mode Operation (Fig. H)

WARNING:
stones, pieces of metal and other objects can be thrown
out at high speed by the line. The trimmer and guard
are designed to reduce the danger.
However, MAKE SURE that other persons and pets are at least
100' (30 m) away. Optimum cutting results are achieved on
edges deeper than 2" (50 mm).
Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
Using the edge guide 
Position the edging guide on the edge of the sidewalk
or abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or
dirt area to be edged.
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
Helpful Cutting Tips (Fig. G)
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along
such things as fences, houses and flower beds for
best practices.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
Do not allow spool cap 
other surfaces.
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 13" (330 mm) high.
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
Cutting Line / Line Feeding
Your trimmer uses .065" (1.65 mm) diameter, round nylon
line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed
and worn. Cutting line will wear faster and require more
feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or
other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
Clearing Jams and Tangled Line (Fig. I)

WARNING:
the power source before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
