WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keeping clearance between the body and the string
trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head while operating can result in serious personal injury.
ADVANCING STRINGS
NOTE:
The trimmer is equipped with an autofeed head. Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage trimmer and
void warranty.
•
With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
•
Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE:
The strings will extend approximately 1/4" with each stop and start of the switch trigger until the strings reach the
length of the grass deflector blade.
•
Resume trimming.
ADVANCING THE STRINGS MANUALLY
Disconnect the string trimmer from the power supply, then push the spool retainer button in while pulling on strings to manually
advance the strings.
CUT OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance strings until they are trimmed to
length by the cut-off blade. Advance strings whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep strings long enough to advance properly.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 7.
•
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
•
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in
the dangerous area shown in figure 8.
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the strings.
TELESCOPING BOOM
See Figure 8.
•
The boom can be extended or shortened for ease of use.
•
Unplug the string trimmer.
•
Unscrew telescoping boom coupler and slide to desired position.
•
Tighten telescoping boom coupler.
