This string trimmer gives you the choice to operate at a
more efficient speed to extend the runtime for larger jobs, or
accelerate the trimmer speed for high‑performance cutting.
To extend runtime, push the speed control switch
forward toward the auxiliary handle

This mode is best to cut through heavier growth and for
applications that need higher RPM.
nOTE: When in "HI" mode, runtime will be decreased as
compared to when trimmer is in "LO" mode.
Trimming (Fig. H, I)
With the trimmer on, angle it and swing side to side as
shown in Fig. I.
Maintain a minimum distance of 24" (610 mm) between the
guard and your feet as shown in Fig. H.

WARNING:
roughly parallel with the ground (tilted no more than
30 degrees). This trimmer is not an edger. DO NOT TILT the
trimmer so that the string is spinning near a right angle to the
ground. Flying debris can cause serious injury.
Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 0.080" (2.0 mm) diameter nylon line.
Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the
cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or
heavier weeds are being cut.
As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due
to wear. Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while
running at normal speed and the line will feed.
nOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 14" (355 mm)
swath will negatively affect performance, runtime, and the
life of the trimmer due to potential of damaging motor.
Doing so may void the warranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips
• 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
string rapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or
other surfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
12" (304.8 mm) high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
.
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
