STARTING THE POLE
TRIMMER
The Pole Trimmer has a trigger lock button
located on top of the handle. This safety
feature locks the trigger in the OFF posi-
tion, preventing accidental starting of the
Pole Trimmer.
The trigger lock button has three posi-
tions.
Position 1
locks the trigger.
Position 2
allows you to squeeze the trigger
and operate the Pole Trimmer. The trigger
lock button will automatically spring back to
Position 1 when you release the trigger.
Position 3
allows you to lock the trigger
in the ON position. This is helpful during
continuous trimming for extended periods
of time.
Note:
An optional method of retaining the
extension cord is shown in Figure 8 for use
with larger-gage cords that may not fit into
the extension cord retainer.
2. Release the trigger lock button while the
Pole Trimmer is running. The lock button
resets to Position 1 each time you release
the trigger to the OFF position.
