OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 6.
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
Contact with the trimmer cutting
head while operating can result
in serious personal injury.
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.
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 0.635cmwith each stop and start
of the trigger until the cutting line reaches the
length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
• Resume trimming.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE MANUALLY
See Figure 7.
• Remove the battery pack.
• Push the black button 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.
ADJUSTABLE CUTTING DIAMETER
See Figure 9.
• Rotate the plant protector to its
working position to avoid cutting
flowers or plants by mistake.
