Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the
tab (3). Gently tug on the cord to insure that it is firmly
retained in the trimmer's handle.
Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the
power cord plug (4) in the trimmer.
Releasing the cutting line
In transit, the cutting line is taped to the spool housing.
Warning! Before assembly, disconnect from the power supply.
Remove the tape holding the cutting line to the
spool housing.
See "Replacing the Spool" for instructions for removing
the spool.
Correct hand position
Correct hand position requires one hand on the main
handle and one hand on the auxiliary handle (5).
Switching on and off
To switch the trimmer on, squeeze the trigger switch (1).
To switch the trimmer off, release the trigger switch.
Operating the trimmer
With the unit on, angle slowly swing the trimmer side to
side as shown in Fig. H.
Maintain a cutting angle of 5° to 10° as shown in Fig. J.
Do not exceed 10° (Fig. J). Cut with the tip of the line.
To keep distance from hard surfaces use edge wheel (8).
Maintain a minimum distance of 600mm) between the
guard and your feet as shown in Fig. I. To acheive this
distance adjust the overall height of the trimmer as shown
in Fig. F.
EASYFEED
Button (Fig. K)
TM
The EASYFEED
feature allows you to advance the length
TM
of cutting line available while trimming.
To extend the cutting line, fully depress the EASYFEED
button (2) while trimming and then release (figure K).
Note! The trimmer will stop cutting when the EASYFEED
button is pressed and will resume cutting when released.
For maximum line length, press the button multiple times
until you hear the cutting line hitting the guard.
Note! Do not continue to press the EASYFEED
the maximum length is reached. This will result in overfeeding
and will consume string quickly.
Convert to edging mode (Fig. L)
The trimmer can be used in trimming mode or edging mode to
trim overhanging grass along lawn edges and flower beds.
Warning! Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments.

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 30m away.
To operate as a maintenance edger, turn the collar (6) as
shown in Fig. L.
Hold the metal shaft and rotate the lower housing 180°
as shown in Fig. L.
Turn the collar back until tight.
Note: The metal shaft and housing will only rotate in
one direction.
To return to the trimming position, loosen the lock collar
and rotate the lower housing back 180° and retighten the
collar.
Edging (Fig. M)
Optimum cutting results are achieved on edges deeper than
50 mm. Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
Using the edging wheel (8), or the wire guard, guide the
trimmer as shown in Fig. M.
Position the edging wheel on the edge of the pavement
or abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or
dirt area to be edged.
Note: You will experience faster than normal cutting line wear
if the edging wheel is positioned too far from the edge with the
cutting line positioned over the pavement or
abrasive surface.
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
Return to the trimming postion by loosening the lock collar
and rotating the lower housing back 180°. The tool will
lock in the trimmer position.
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
TM
worn and the special self feeding spool will automatically feed
and trim a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and
TM
require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along
pavements 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
trimmer on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other
purposes.
Helpful Cutting Tips
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
Wire and fences cause extra string wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string
rapidly.
