CONNECTING THE CORD
Use the cord hook when connecting the extension cord
to the power cord outlet. This helps prevent any
disconnection.

2. Push the loop through the opening and move it onto
the hook on the motor housing (Fig. 9).
3. Plug the cord properly into the socket.
Only use outdoor-approved extension cords. Cord sets
are specified in the Important Safety Information section.

OPERATING THE TWO-SPEED SWITCH
This unit is equipped with a two-speed switch. The
switch has a powerful high speed for demanding yard
work, and a precision low speed for light-duty yard work.
Push the switch up for high speed trimming, down for
low speed trimming (Fig. 10).
CAUTION:
the switch in the low speed. This could cause
overheating and failure.
HOLDING THE UNIT
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Fig. 11). Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper
clothing
• With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator's hand is
holding the shaft grip
• The operator's left arm is straight, the left hand
holding the D-handle
• The unit is at waist level
• The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and
easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over
ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to
release trimming line without stopping the motor. To
release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the
ground (Fig. 12) while operating the trimmer at high speed.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
Line release becomes more difficult as cutting
line becomes shorter
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of
trimming line releases. A blade in the cutting attachment
shield will cut the line to the proper length if any excess
line is released.
Do not use the unit for
demanding work with
