CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

ground.
Basic Cutting Procedure
Slowly swing trimmer side-to-side as shown.
EDGING
To convert for maintenance edging, turn off the tool. Holding the

turn it counter-clockwise. The tool is locked in the edger position.
Return to trimming position by turning the tool off, push in the
button and rotate the trimmer head clockwise until it stops. When
using the tool in the trimmer mode you may choose to fold the wire
edge guide up out of the way.

OPERATING
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this type of product to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
Do not operate a string trimmer in a tree, on a ladder, or on a
scaffold; this is extremely dangerous.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .065” (1.65mm) diameter nylon line to cut grass
and weeds quickly and easily. In time, the tip of the nylon line will
become worn and the auto feed mechanism will automatically feed
and trim a fresh length of line. The cutting line will wear faster if the
cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier
weeds are being cut. The line will extend approximately ¼ in. with
each stop and start of the switch trigger until the line reaches the
length of the grass deflector blade.
Do not bump unit on ground
in
attempt to feed line or for any other purpose.
If your trimmer line hits sharp or abrasive objects, such as stones,
metal pieces, or concrete, the trimmer line can be cut too short to
continue trimming. In this case, you can manually extend the line:
1.
REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK.
2.
Press the line-feeding button with one hand while pulling the line
out with the other.
3.
Press the button repeatedly to release line to the proper length.
Each press of the button will release approximately 1/4 inch of
line. (Note: Release only enough line to extend just beyond the
blade. If too much line is released, the blade will be unable to cut
it to the correct working length and it may become tangled on the
rotating shaft.)
4.
Install the battery pack.
5.
Restart the trimmer and return to normal operation.
