OPERATING THE TRIMMER

See Figure 9.

Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:

Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.

Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.

Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.

Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the boom housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating.

If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:

Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.

Remove the grass.

WARNING:

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.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figures 10 - 11.

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.

The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 10.

Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.

Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.

Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

The flower bed guide provides the user with the cutting swath of the strong to help prevent cutting damage to flowers and scrubs.

ADVANCING line

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 line MANUALLY

See Figure 12.

Remove the battery pack.

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

LINE CUT-OFF BLADE

See Figure 13.

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

This trimmer is currently set at the 11 in. cutting swath. To adjust to a cutting swath of 13 in.:

Loosen the blade screw then rotate the blade 180°.

Tighten the blade screw.

edging

Step down on the foot pedal.

Rotate the trimmer head counterclockwise placing the tool in the edger position.

WARNING:

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