SWITCHING ON AND OFF
• To switch the trimmer on, press in and
hold the lock off button (3), depress
the variable speed trigger (1). The
trimmer's speed, power, and runtime
depend on how far you press the
switch. Lightly depressing the trigger
will result in lower speed and power,
but longer runtime. Fully depressing
the trigger will result in maximum
speed and power, but shorter runtime.
• To switch the trimmer off, release both
the trigger and the lock off button.
WARNING:
Never attempt to lock the
on/off button in the on position.

HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
• 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 to drag on
ground or other surfaces.
• In long growth cut from the top down
and do not exceed 12 inches (304.8
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 right to left. 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 .080 inch (2.00 mm)
diameter, ROUND nylon line. During
use, the tips of the nylon lines will
become frayed and worn and the special
self feeding spool will automatically feed
and trim a fresh length of line. DO NOT
BUMP unit on ground in attempt to feed
line or for any other purposes.
Cutting line will wear faster and require
more feeding if the cutting or edging is
done along sidewalks or other abrasive
