TRIMMING AND EDGING (Figs. 13 and 14)

When trimming, cut from left to right for cutting efficiency; this throws the clippings away from the operator (Fig. 13).

To edge, rotate the shaft 180° (See Page 20, Figs. 11 and 11a). Place edge guide wheels and trimmer head above the surface you are going to edge, as shown in Fig. 14.

is depressed.

2. While continuing to hold in the safety button, squeeze the trigger switch. Now the trimmer will come on.

3.Once the trimmer is on, you can release the safety button and the trimmer will remain on as long as you continue to squeeze the extended length trigger switch.

Turning Trimmer OFF

2.Allow at least 5 seconds for the cutting spool (line) to stop rotating.
