Edging
To using the machine for edging, simply turn the unit 180
degree, and adjust the position of the auxiliary handle as
described.
1. Turn OFF the tool and remove the battery.
2. Flip up the handle latch to unlock the handle, and rotate
the handle 180 degrees around and make sure it's facing
the same direction with the On/Off switch (Fig. 22). Fold
down the handle latch and make sure the auxiliary handle
is locked securely.

3. Remove the edger guide + flower guard if it prevents the
trimmer line from contacting the soil.
4. Reinstall the battery. Press the On/Off switch to start
edging.
5. Hold the trimmer in a comfortable position with right hand
on the rear handle and left hand on the front auxiliary
handle (Fig. 23). Slowly walk with the tool, holding it with
your arms steady. Moving your body instead of your arms
will ultimately make the cut on the grass much straighter.

6. Move the unit in a backwards direction when trimming
around edges to avoid damage.

WARNING!
Do not trim near electrical wires.
Advancing String
NOTE: Your trimmer uses 0.095 in. (2.4 mm) diameter nylon
line to cut grass and weed quickly and easily. In time, the tip
of the nylon line will become worn. The trimmer head allows
the operator to release more cutting line without stopping the
motor. As line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can be
released by lightly tapping the trimmer head on the ground
while the motor is running.
NOTE: For best results, tap the trimmer head on bare ground
or hard soil. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes
shorter.
