Adjusting the Cutting Swath
The trimmer comes from the factory with a cutting swath of 33 cm (13 inches) as shown in A of
to the following instructions to adjust the swath to 38.1 cm (15 inches) as shown in D of
1.
Remove the swath blade from the bottom of the guard by removing the 2 screws holding it in place (B
of
Figure

2.
Once the swath blade is rotated, install it onto the guard using the 2 screws previously removed (C of

Operating Tips
•
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut;
this is the best cutting area.
•
The string trimmer cuts when you move it from
right to left. This prevents the trimmer from
throwing debris at you.
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not
force the string head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences can cause the string to
wear rapidly and even break. Stone and brick
walls, curbs, and wood can also cause the string
to wear rapidly.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. The string can easily
damage tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts.
