CONNECTING THE SPACER GUARD
Snap the Spacer Guard into the trimmer head
(See C).
When not required, rotate the spacer guard un-
derneath the safety guard and clip into place.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT (See D)
Unscrew the lower adjustment knob (4) extend
the telescopic shaft, then retighten.
ROTATING THE MAIN HANDLE (See E)
Unscrew the upper adjustment knob (3) , rotate
the main handle 90 degrees clockwise, then re-
tighten.
ADJUSTING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE
Pull the handle release lever (5), rotate the aux-
iliary handle to desired position, and release.
ADJUSTING THE TRIMMER HEAD ANGLE
Grip the trimmer head with one hand and the
shaft with the other. Change the angle by apply-
ing adequate force. You will hear a heavy click
for each angle adjustment, which is part of the
ratchet mechanism. The clicking sound is nor-
mal and is not a defect of the tool (See G).
ON/OFF TRIGGER

mer. Release to stop
Warning: The cutting head continues
to rotate after the trimmer has been
switched off. Wait until it stops before
laying the trimmer down.
OPERATION
Warning:
Always wear eye protection
and heavy clothing to prevent rocks and
debris from hitting you and causing an eye in-
jury or other serious injuries. Use two hands to
operate the trimmer and hold the unit below
waist level. To best ensure that debris is thrown
away from your body, work only from the right
to left. For optimal trimming and edging results
while maintaining comfort, keep the trimmer
head parallel to the ground when trimming
(perpendicular, when edging). When trimming
be sure to keep sufficient distance between the
cutting line and the ground.
Warning: Before operating, make
sure both trimmer lines are extend-
ed. When trimming, make sure motor is
running at full speed.
Warning:
Use only 0.065” 1.65mm diam-
eter cutting line. Other line sizes will not
properly feed in the trimmer head and could
cause serious injury. Never use other materials
such as wires, string or rope, as this may break
off during cutting and cause serious injury.
TRIMMING
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in
above the ground and at an angle. Allow only
the tip of line to make contact. Do not force
trimmer line into work area.
EDGING (See H)
Unscrew the upper adjustment knob (3) , rotate
the main and auxiliary handle 90º, and retight-
en the knob. Adjust trimmer head angle so that
it is in line with the shaft (horizontal). Put the
wheel on the ground to begin edging, using the
white line guides to indicate the cutting posi-
tion at the edge of your lawn.
While edging, allow the tip of the line to make
contact. Do not force the line. The wheel helps
prevent the unit from touching the ground. Take
extra caution while edging as objects can be
thrown from the trimmer line.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small
length of line is fed out.
A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard for a short
time. This is normal and is caused by the line
being cut by the line cutter. Once the line is
cut to the correct length, the ‘clattering’ noise
will stop and the trimmer motor will run at full
speed.
To feed more line, stop the trimmer completely,
then restart, allowing the motor to reach full
speed. Repeat this until you hear the ‘clatter-
ing’ noise of the line cutting. (Do not repeat this
procedure more than 6 times)
TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See I)
Press and release manual line feed button (16),
whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines
reaches the line cutter.
