Operation

m

WARNING!

 Do not allow familiarity with this product 

to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a 

second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

m

WARNING!

 Always wear eye protection along with 

hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects 

being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

Securing the Extension Cord

1. 

To prevent the grass trimmer appliance cord and extension 

cord from disconnecting during use, form the extension 

cord into a loop and insert the loop into the extension cord 

restraint

. Insert the appliance cord into the loop (Fig. 9).

2. 

Connect the extension cord to the appliance cord

 

(Fig. 9).

m

WARNING! 

Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, and 

other objects from the cutting area. The trimming line continues 

to rotate for a few seconds after switching off the trimmer. Let 

the motor come to a complete stop before resuming operation. 

Do not rapidly switch the trimmer off and on.

m

CAUTION!

 Always wear eye protection.

St Stopping

1.  To switch on the trimmer, press and hold the trigger 

switch

. Release the trigger to stop (Fig. 

10).

Trimming

•  Hold the grass trimmer with your right hand on the handle, 

rest your arm on the support bracket and your left hand on 

the trimmer pole. The grass trimmer should be held at a 

comfortable position with the handle about hip height.

•  Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
•  For the best cutting action against walls, fences, and in high 

grass, move the grass trimmer slowly so grass is cut with 

the tip of the high speed nylon line.

•  Avoid dragging the grass trimmer and string spool cover in 

contact with the ground.

•  Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.

NOTE: As the weather becomes cooler, the tendency for the 

nylon line to break becomes greater. DO NOT USE WHEN 

TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50ºF (10ºC).

•  Cut tall grass from top down. This will prevent grass from 

wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which 

may cause damage from overheating. 

•  If grass becomes wrapped around the string head: 

 

 Stop the trimmer.

 

– 

Unplug the trimmer.

 

– 

Remove the grass.

m

WARNING!

 Always hold the trimmer away from 

body. Any contact with the grass trimmer cutting head while 

operating can result in serious personal injury.

•  The life of your nylon line is dependent upon following 

instructions for proper use, as well as what is being cut, and 

where the cutting is being done.
