OPERATING THE TRIMMER See Figure 7.
Follow these tips when using the trimmer:
„ Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
„ Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
„ Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
„ Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string
head which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
„ Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
„ Remove the grass.
CUTTING TIPS See Figure 8.
„ Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
„ The trimmer will cut better when moved from left to
right across the area to be cut; it is less effective when
moved from right to left.
„ Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
„ Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear cutting line rapidly.
„ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
cutting line.
„ Attach metal knob to the rubber hole on the rear handle
when in use, unlock the metal knob when not in use.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE
NOTE: The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
the trimmer and void the warranty.
„ With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
„ Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The cutting line will extend approximately 0.635cm
with each stop and start of the trigger until the cutting line
reaches the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
„ Resume trimming.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY
See Figure 9.
„ Remove the battery pack.
„ Push the black button (D) located on the cutting head
while pulling on cutting line to manually advance the
cutting line.
„ After extending new cutter line, always return the
machine to its normal operating position before
switching on.
ROTATING HANDLE See Figure 10.
The rotating handle is used when edging.
„ Remove the battery pack.
„ Depress the latches (B) on each side of the upper
portion of the shaft.
„ Rotate the lower end of the tool to the edging position.
„ Make sure the latches snap into place and the lowerend
of the tool is secured before beginning operation.
EDGING See Figure 11.
„ Remove the battery pack.
„ Rotate the tool to the edging position as described in
the previous section when using the edger guide for
edging sidewalks and walkways.
„ Always hold the line trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the line
trimmer. Any contact with the line trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade (6) on
the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade. Advance
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will
maintain best performance and keep line long enough to
advance properly.
When changing between grass trimming and edging
mode, always make sure that you stop the line trimmer
first and that the cutting lines have stopped rotating.
