THE EDGE GUIDE (Fig. 6)	Fig. 6
Your trimmer comes with an Edge Guide
that is handy for use as a cutting guide.
It can be used to help keep the cutting
line away from items you don’t want cut,
such as flowers, or damaged, such as
fences or screens.
Each end of the wire edge guide is
force-fitted into a hole located on each
side of the trimmer’s head. To use the
edge guide, pull (force) it down into the
guide position as shown in Fig. 6.
