WG118E

5. ATTACHING ExTENSION CORd(See fig. G)

An extension cord retainer is built into the Rear Handle 
(1) that prevents the cord from coming unplugged. 
To use this feature, simply double the extension 
cord about (203mm from the end, forming a small 
loop.  Insert this loop into the slot on the back of the 
handle. Hook the end of the loop over the tab.  Gently 
tug on the cord to insure that it is firmly retained in 
the trimmer’s handle. Plug the receptacle end of the 
extension cord into the Plug Insert (2) in the trimmer.

6. AdJUSTMENT Of TRIMMER HEAd ANGlE

To adjust the trimmer head angle downwards, put 
one foot on the motor housing, then grip the Rear and 
Auxiliary handles, and apply adequate force to adjust, 
as shown in Fig. H1.
To adjust the trimmer head angle upwards, put one 
foot on the Safety Guard (4), then grip the Rear and 
Auxiliary handles and apply adequate force to adjust, 
as shown in Fig. H2.

7. USING THE ON/Off TRIGGER 

Press and hold the on/off trigger to start the trimmer.  
Release to stop.

8.TRIMMING

Hold the bottom of the trimmer head just above the 
ground and at a slight angle. Allow only the tip of line 
to make contact with the grass. Let the trimmer line 
work at its own pace; do not force the trimmer line into 
the work area.

9. EdGING  (See fig. I) 

First, rotate the Rear Handle (1) 90 degree clockwise (See 
“main Handle Rotation”, Fig. E1&E2).
Adjust the trimmer head angle to be the lowest horizontal 
setting (See “Adjustment of the Trimmer Head Angle”, Fig 
H1). Then position the Edger Wheel (8) on the ground for 
edge mode (See Fig. I). There are two white lines, located 
on each end of the Safety Guard (4), that show the cutting 
plane of the trimmer line. Align these marks with the 
edge of your lawn.
While edging, allow the tip of the line to make contact. 
Do not force the line. The wheel helps to prevent the 
unit from touching the ground. Take extra caution while 
edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.

   

10.  AUTOMATIC lINE fEEd SySTEM 

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length 
of line is fed out.
