ASSEMBLY and Adjustment
WARNING: Unplug the trimmer before attempting to attach the guard,
EDGE GUIDE OR HANDLE. NEVER OPERATE TOOL WITHOUT GUARD FIRMLY IN PLACE. THE GUARD MUST ALWAYS BE ON THE TOOL TO PROTECT THE USER.
Attaching the guard
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE trimmer WITHOUT GUARD FIRMLY IN PLACE.
• Turn the trimmer upside down so that you are looking down at the spool (9).
• Remove the screw from the guard with a phillips screwdriver.
• Turn the guard (8) upside down and slide it fully onto the motor housing (6). Make sure the tabs (10) on the guard engage the ribs (11) on the motor housing as shown in figure B. The locking tab (25) should have snapped into the housing slot (26).
• Continue to slide the guard on until you hear it “snap” into place.
• Insert the guard screw as shown in figure C to complete the guard assembly.
• Once the guard is installed, remove the covering from the line
Attaching the Auxiliary Handle
• To attach the handle (4), press in on the buttons (12) on both sides of the upper housing as shown in figure D.
• Position the handle as shown in figure E, matching up the grooved side of the handle with the grooved button. Partially push the handle on so that it will hold the buttons in when you release them with your hand.
• Push the handle completely onto the housing and position it slightly until it “snaps” into place (figure F).
• To adjust the handle up or down, press in on the button (13) and raise or lower the handle.
• The handle should be adjusted so that your front arm is straight when the trimmer is in the working position.
HEIGHT adjustment
CAUTION: Adjust the length of the trimmer to obtain proper working positions as shown in figure I1.
• The overall height of the trimmer can be adjusted by loosening the collar (5) and rotating it in the direction of the arrow shown in figure G.
• Move the upper housing straight up or down. When the desired height is achieved, tighten the collar by rotating it opposite of the direction shown in figure G.
attaching extension cord (figure h)
• An extension cord retainer (2) is built into the switch handle that prevents the cord from coming unplugged. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord about 8 inches (203mm) from the end, and insert it into the slot (14) in the end of the handle area as shown in figure H. Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the tab (2). Gently tug on the cord to insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer’s handle. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the power cord plug (3) in the trimmer.
