• Maintain a minimum distance of 24 inches (609.6 ram) between
the guard and your feet as shown in figure J2. To acheive this
distance adjust the overall height of the trimmer as shown in
figure G.
CONVERT TO EDGING MODE
• To operate as a maintenance edger, turn the
collar (9) as shown in part 1 of figure K.
• Hold the metal shaft and rotate the lower
housing 180° as shown in part 2.
• Turn the collar (9) until tight.
• If desired, pull the wire edge guide (7)
out from the motor housing until it clicks
into the locked position as shown in figure
L and position the trimmer above the
surface as shown in figure L.
• Return to the trimming
position by loosening the
lock collar (9) and rotating
the lower housing back 180°.
The tool will lock in the
trimmer position. When using
the tool, retract the wire
edge guide to the original
position, out of the way.
HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along such things as
fences, houses and flower beds for best practices.
• 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 lift trimmer
head more than 12 inches (304.8 rnm) from the ground.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to left.
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.
