• If desired, pull the wire edge guide (7)
out from the motor housing until it clicks
into the locked position as shown in
figure
L
and position the trimmer above the
surface as shown in
figure L
.
• Return to the trimming
position by loosening the
lock collar (9) and rotating
the lower housing back 180°.
The tool will lock in the
trimmer position. When using
the tool, retract the wire
edge guide to the original
position, out of the way.
HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along such things as
fences, houses and flower beds for best practices.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other surfaces.
• In long growth cut from the top down and do not lift trimmer
head more than
12 inches (304.8 mm)
from the ground.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to left.
This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
• Maintain a minimum distance of
24 inches (609.6 mm)
between
the guard and your feet as shown in
figure J2
. To acheive this
distance adjust the overall height of the trimmer as shown in
figure G
.
CONVERT TO EDGING MODE
• To operate as a maintenance edger, turn the
collar (9) as shown in part 1 of
figure K
.
• Hold the metal shaft and rotate the lower
housing 180° as shown in part 2.
• Turn the collar (9) until tight.
