OPERATION

ADVANCING STRING

NOTE: The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head. Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage the trimmer and void the warranty.

With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.

Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.

NOTE: The string will extend approximately 1/4 in. with each stop and start of the switch trigger until the string reaches the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.

Resume trimming.

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

See Figure 11.

Remove the battery pack.

Push the black button located on the string head while pulling on string to manually advance the string

CUT-OFF BLADE

See Figure 12.

This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep string long enough to advance properly.

ROTATING rear HANDLE

See Figure 13.

The rotating rear handle is used in combination with the edger guide.

Remove the battery pack.

Pull up on the edging coupler and turn handle end coun- terclockwise until the edging coupler locks into place.

Release the edging coupler.

Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keeping clearance between the body and the string trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head while operating can result in serious personal injury.
