Maintain a minimum distance of 610 mm between the guard
and your feet as shown in Figure I.
Convert to Edging Mode (Fig. J)
CAUTION:
The wire edge guide should only be
used when in the edging mode.
The trimmer can be used in trimming mode or edging mode to
trim overhanging grass along lawn edges and flower beds. To
convert the trimmer to edging mode:
1. Remove the battery from the trimmer.
2. Grasp the turn-to-edge collar
7
and pull down as shown
in Figure J.
3. Rotate the turn-to-edge collar 180° counterclockwise as
shown in Figure J., until the handle snaps back into the
upper half of the trimmer.
4. To return to trimming position, pull the turn-to-edge
collar up and rotate the head clockwise back to its original
position.
nOTE: You will experience faster than normal cutting line wear
if the trimmer line is positioned directly over the sidewalk or
abrasive surface.
Edging Mode Operation (Fig. A, H)
WARNING:
When being used as an edger,
stones, pieces of metal and other objects can be thrown
out at high speed by the line. The trimmer and guard are
designed to reduce the danger.
However, MAKE SURE that other persons and pets are at least
100' (30 m) away. Optimum cutting results are achieved on
edges deeper than 50 mm.
• Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
• Using the wire edge guide
9 , guide the trimmer.
• Position the wire edge guide on the edge of the sidewalk or
abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or dirt
area to be edged.
• To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
Helpful Cutting Tips (Fig. K)
• 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 18 to drag on ground or
other surfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
305 mm high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. 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.
Cutting Line/Line Feeding
Your trimmer uses 1.65 mm diameter, ROUND nylon line. During
use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and worn and
the special self feeding spool will automatically feed and trim
a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and require
more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks
or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The
advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when more
cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct length
of line whenever it’s required. Do not bump unit on ground in
attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
Clearing Jams and Tangled Line (Fig. K)
WARNING:
Remove the battery from the
trimmer before making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky
weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or
other material and the line will become jammed as a result. To
clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.
CAUTION:
To avoid appliance damage, if the
cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off
so that it just reaches the blade.
1. Remove the battery from the trimmer.
2. Press the release tabs
19 on the spool cap 18 , and remove
the spool cap from the spool housing 10 (Figure K).
3. Pull the nylon line spool out and clear any broken line or
cutting debris from the spool area.
4. Place spool and line into spool cap with line “parked” in slots
provided.
5. Insert the line end through the appropriate hole in the
spool housing. Pull slack line through until it pulls out of the
holding slots.
6. Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it
drop into place and then push to snap into place. (When in
place, the spool will turn a few degrees left and right freely).
7. Take care to keep the line from becoming trapped under
the spool.
8. Fit the spool onto the appliance as described in Replacing
Spool Assembly .
