Adjusting the Maximum Line Length
You can change the maximum length of the cutting line to either cut just inside the metal wire guide (for trimming next to plants and structures that would be damaged by the line) or to extend past the guide at the full cutting swath (for general trimming and edging).
Caution
The blade under the guard is sharp and can cut you. Be careful when handling the trimmer so that you do not accidentally cut yourself.
To shorten the line to cut just inside the wire guide, push in on the red knob on the guard and turn it counterclockwise.

Keep the cutting head away from your feet and bystanders.

Ensure that the cutting head has stopped before you service or examine the cutting head. Do not start the trimmer unless your hands are on both handles and the cutting head is down near the ground.
