(Original instructions)

u Drop the edge guide (11) to the open position. Ensure

that the edging guide is all the way down, an audible

click will be heard.

u Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.

u Using the edge guide (11), guide the trimmer as shown

in gure P.

u Position the 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.

u To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.

Operation

Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making

any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or

accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Warning! Always use proper eye protection.

Caution: Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate

type of cutting line - 2.0mm diameter, ROUND nylon line.

Caution: Inspect area to be trimmed and

remove any wire, cord, or string-like objects which could

become entangled in the rotating line or spool. Be particularly

careful to avoid any wire which might be bent outwardly into

the path of the appliance, such as barbs at the base of a chain

link fence.

Proper hand position

Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown in gure O.

Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle

(3) and one hand on the auxiliary handle (5).

Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.

Switching on and off

u To switch the trimmer on, press in and hold the lock

off button (2), depress the variable speed trigger (1).

The trimmer’s speed, power, and runtime depend on

how far you press the switch. Lightly depressing the

trigger will result in lower speed and power, but longer

runtime. Fully depressing the trigger will result in

maximum speed and power, but shorter runtime.

u To switch the trimmer off, release both the trigger and

the lock off button.

Warning! Never attempt to lock the on/off button in the on

position.

Operating the trimmer

u With the unit on, angle unit and slowly swing the

trimmer side to side as shown in gure N.

u Maintain a cutting angle of 5° to 10°. Do not exceed 10°.

Cut with the tip of the line. To keep distance from hard

surfaces use edge guide (11). Pull the guide out until it

snaps securely into place

u Maintain a minimum distance of 24 inches (60cm)

between the guard and your feet as shown in gure O.

Speed control & runtime extension modes

This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a

more efcient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or

accelerate the trimmer speed for high-performance

cutting (gure Q).

u To extend runtime, pull the speed-control switch (4)

back toward the battery (14) into position #1. This mode

is best for larger projects that require more time to

complete.

u To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed-control

switch forward toward the motor housing (10) into

position #2. This mode is best to cut through heavier

growth and for applications that need higher RPM.

Note: When in acceleration mode (#2), runtime will be

decreased as compared to when trimmer is in extended

runtime mode (#1).

Helpful cutting tips

u 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 ower beds for best

practices.

u Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even

breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may

wear string rapidly.

u Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other

surfaces.

u In long growth cut from the top down and do not exceed

300 mm high.

u Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the

best cutting area.

u The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to

left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.

u Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,

and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

Replacing the spool

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.

u Remove the battery from the trimmer.
