OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
To avoid injury:
• Do not squeeze the trigger while the string trimmer is inverted.
Do not carry the string trimmer with your finger on the switch. Avoid unintentional starting.
•
1. To turn on/off:
a. Slide the speed switch (D) to the desired operating
speed. Slide the speed switch to position 1 for low
speed or position 2 for high speed.
b. Press the lock-off lever (C). Squeeze the trigger (B)
to start.
c. Release the trigger (B) to stop.
CAUTION: Always allow 5 seconds or more for
the cutting line spool to stop rotating after releasing
the trigger. Do not invert the string trimmer or place
your hands under the protective guard until the string
trimmer spool has come to a complete stop.
2. Lengthening the line
While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line
gets worn down and becomes shorter. This trimmer
is equipped with bump feed line advancement,
which advances additional line once the head is
bumped on the ground while rotating. The cut-off
blade will cut the line to keep an accurate cutting
swath.
Trimmer tips
Before each use:
• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed.
If not, tighten the guard screws.
• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become
entangled in the cutting line and thrown.
Storage tips:
• Do not store the string trimmer in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace.
The battery life will be shortened.
