OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.  Lengthening the line

 

While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line 
gets worn down and becomes shorter. This trimmer 
is equipped with bump feed line advancement, which 
advances additional line once the head is bumped on 
the ground while rotating. The cutting blade will cut 
the line to keep an accurate cutting swath.

3.  Adjusting the speed of the trimmer

power button (D). Both LEDs will illuminate,

b.  Press the speed control button (P) next to the 

power button (D). Only one LED will illuminate, 
indicating that the trimmer is currently set to

adjusted. The unit defaults to the lowest speed.
