CONTROLLING TRIMMER HEAD
SPEED
The throttle trigger controls the speed at
which the trimmer head turns Squeeze
the throttle trigger more firmly for faster
cutting speed
Use the lowest pressure required to cut
the material This helps to maximize
the amount of cutting time per battery
charge and reduces the number of
charging operations required
ADVANCING TRIMMER LINE
The trimmer line wears down as you use
the trimmer/edger Let out more trimmer
line as needed
With the motor running and the trimmer
head turning, bump the trimmer head on
the ground (Fig 17) More trimmer line
comes out of the spool, and excess
trimmer line is cut off by the line cutting
blade on the bottom of the guard
FIG. 17
If the trimmer line does not come out,
the spool may be empty Turn off the
trimmer/edger and replace trimmer line
as described in "Replacing trimmer line"

OPERATING THE TRIMMER/EDGER

TRIMMING

Trimming cuts grass and weeds that are
close to walls, fences, and other areas too
small to reach with a lawn mower, down
to a manageable height but not down to
soil level
Assume proper grip and stance, then
start the trimmer Squeeze the throttle
trigger until the trimmer head achieves
the minimum speed necessary to cut the
grass or weeds
Angle the trimmer head slightly toward
the direction of the cut (Fig 18)
FIG. 18
5–10°
Push the trimmer head slowly from the
side into the grass or weeds to be cut,
and move the trimmer head back and
forth so that the end of the trimmer line
contacts the material to be cut
Do not allow the trimmer line to touch
the ground
