EASYFEED BUTTON
TM
The EASYFEED feature allows you to advance the length
of cutting line available while trimming.
• To extend the cutting line, fully depress the
EASYFEED TM button (4) while trimming and then
release (figure K).
NOTE: The trimmer will stop cutting when the
EASYFEED TM button is pressed and will resume cutting
when released.
• For maximum line length, press the button multiple
times until you hear the cutting line hitting the
guard.
NOTE: Do not continue to press the EASYFEED
button once the maximum length is reached. This will
result in overfeeding and will consume string quickly.

CONVERT TO EDGING MODE
CAUTION:
The wheeled edge guide should only be
used when in the edging mode.
The trimmer can be used in trimming mode or edging
mode to trim overhanging grass along lawn edges and
flower beds.
For edging, the trimmer head should be in the position
shown in figure M. If it is not:
• Remove the battery from the trimmer.
• Grasp the flip-to-edge collar (8) and push down as
shown in part 1 of figure L.
• Rotate the flip-to-edge collar 180° counterclockwise
as shown in part 2, until the handle snaps back into
the upper half of the trimmer.

• To return to trimming position, pull the flip-to-edge
collar down and rotate the head clockwise back to its
original position.
NOTE: You will experience faster than normal cutting
line wear if the trimmer line is positioned directly over the
sidewalk or abrasive surface.

WARNING:
stones, pieces of metal and other objects can be thrown
out at high speed by the line. The trimmer and guard are
designed to reduce the danger. However, MAKE SURE
that other persons and pets are at least 100 feet (30m)
away. Optimum cutting results are achieved on edges
deeper than 2 inches (50 mm).
• Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
• Using the edging wheel (10), guide the trimmer as
shown in figure M.
• Position the edging wheel on the edge of the sidewalk or
abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or dirt
area to be edged.
• To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.

SPEED CONTROL & RUNTIME
EXTENSION MODE
This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efficient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high-performance cutting
(figure N).
• To extend runtime, pull the runtime extender switch
(5) back toward the battery (13) into position #1. This
mode is best for larger projects that require more time
to complete.
• To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed-control
switch forward toward the trimmer head (9) into
position #2. This mode is best to cut through heavier
growth and for applications that need higher RPM.
NOTE: When in acceleration mode (#2), runtime will be
decreased as compared to when trimmer is in extended
runtime mode (#1).

HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting;
do not force string head into uncut grass. Use edge
