Pivoting the Power Head
Disconnect the pole trimmer from the power supply.
The Pole Trimmer is equipped with a power head that
pivots. The power head has a spring-loaded button that
allows it to be locked into several different positions
within its 120-degree rotation. Before connecting the Pole
Trimmer to the electrical supply, make sure the power
head is locked into position. Do this by trying to rotate the
power head in either direction. The power head should
be locked in position and should not rotate. To pivot the
power head, follow the instructions below.
1. Push the round button (3) located on the side of the
pivot bracket. The button is spring-loaded, so you will
feel some resistance when pulling it out.
2. Grasp the power head motor housing and rotate the
power head to either of the 5 positions (-30° / 0° /
30° / 60° / 90°).
