OPERATING
WARNING:
Do not trim near electrical wires or buildings.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this type of product to
make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
Do not operate a string trimmer in a tree, on a ladder, or on a
scaffold. This is extremely dangerous.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses
.
065” diameter nylon line to cut grass and weeds
quickly and easily. In time, the tip of the nylon line will become worn
and the auto feed mechanism will automatically feed a fresh length of
line. The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along
sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
The line will extend approximately ¼ in. with each stop and restart of
the trimmer.
Do not bump unit on ground
in attempt to feed line or
for any other purpose.
If your trimmer line hits sharp or abrasive objects, such as stones,
metal pieces, or concrete, the trimmer line can be cut too short to
continue trimming. In this case, you can manually extend the line:

1.
REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK.
2.
Press the line-feeding button with one hand while pulling the line
out with the other.
3.
Press the button repeatedly to release line to the proper length.
Each press of the button will release approximately 1/4 inch of
line. (Note: Release only enough line to extend just beyond the
blade. If too much line is released, the blade will be unable to cut
it to the correct working length and it may become tangled on the
rotating shaft.)
