To stop the string trimmer, release switch trigger to
stop.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
Follow these tips when using the trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the 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:
Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
Remove the grass.
WARNING
Contact with the trimmer cutting head while operating
can result in serious personal injury.
ADVANCING LINE
NOTE:
The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
the trimmer and void the warranty.
With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE:
The line will extend approximately 1/4 in. with
each stop and start of the switch trigger until the line
reaches the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
Resume trimming.
ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY
See Figure 7.
Remove the battery pack.
Push the black button located on the cutting head while
pulling on cutting line to manually advance the cutting
line.
After extending new cutter line, always return the
machine to its normal operating position before
switching on.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 8.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
The trimmer will cut better when moved from left to
right across the area to be cut; it is less effective when
moved from right to left.
Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear cutting line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
cutting line.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 9.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the
grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade. Advance
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will
maintain best performance and keep line long enough to
advance properly.
