OPERATION
WARNING: Always wear the eye
protection. Never lean over the trimmer
head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown
into eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury. When operating unit, check for
the following:
Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold
front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle
with the other hand. Keep unit below waist
2 in 1 Grass Trimmer/Edger
level. Work only from your right to your left to
ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without
bending over, keep line near and parallel to the
ground (perpendicular when edging) and not
crowded into material being cut.
WARNING: Make sure that line is fed out
before operation. Make sure motor is up to
full speed before trimming or edging.
WARNING: Use only 0.065"(1.65mm)
cutting line, diameter line. Other sizes of
line will not feed properly and will result in
improper cutting head function or can cause
serious injury. Do not use other material such as
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during
cutting and become a dangerous projectile that
can cause serious injury.
TRIMMING
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about just
above the ground and at a slight angle. Allow
only the tip of line to make contact with the
grass. Let the trimmer line work at its own pace.
Do not force trimmer line into work area.

downwards, as shown in Fig I1. Make sure to
adjust trimmer head angle to be in the lowest
horizontal setting., holding the lower housing
then pull upwards the upper shaft, then rotate

Then position the wheel on the ground for edge
mode. The guard has two white line guides to
indicate the cutting line position. Align these
marks with the edge of your lawn.
While edging, only allow the tip of the line to
make contact with area being worked. Do not
force the line. The edging wheels help protect
the unit and keep the unit from contacting the
ground. Take extra caution while edging as
objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM

length of line is fed out. Each time the tools is
