fence posts

DECORATIVE TRIMMING

When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate the whole
unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 16).
EDGING
The trimmer attachment can be used for edging (Fig. 17).
Alternatively, a bladed lawn edger attachment can also be
purchased for use with this unit.
Rotating the Trimmer Attachment
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury and
damage to the unit, shut the unit off before rotating the
attachment.
When edging around sidewalks, flowerbeds, etc., rotate the trimmer
attachment 90° inside the coupler. DO NOT rotate the entire unit 90°.
1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen the coupler (Fig. 18).
2. Press and hold the release button (Fig. 18).
3. Rotate the attachment until the release button snaps firmly into
the 90° edging hole (Fig. 18).
4. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten the coupler (Fig. 18).
CAUTION:
Only snap the release button into the 90°
edging hole when edging with the trimmer attachment.
Using the 90° edging hole with other attachments could
lead to personal injury or damage to the unit.
Maintaining the Trimming Line / Line Blades
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the trimming line / line
blades to wear down quickly or break.
• When Using the Bump Head: Frequently check and adjust the
trimming line length. Refer to Adjusting the Trimming Line
Length. Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
• When Using the Aero-Flex® Head: Inspect the line blades
frequently. Replace any worn or damaged line blades before
resuming operation. Refer to Replacing the Line Blades in the
Maintenance section.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many passes as are
necessary to achieve the desired depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
