OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The cutting head continues
to rotate after the trimmer has been
switched off. Wait until it stops before laying
the trimmer down.
● Always wear eye protection. Never lean
over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can
ricochet or be thrown into the eyes and
face and cause blindness or other serious
10
injury.
● Hold front handle with one hand and
auxiliary handle with the other hand. Keep
unit below waist level. Work only from
your right to your left to ensure debris is
thrown away from you. Without bending
over, keep line near and parallel to the
ground (perpendicular when edging) and
not crowded into material being cut.
● Before operating, make sure both trimmer
lines are extended. When trimming, make
sure motor is running at full speed.
● Use only 0.065"(1.65mm) diameter cutting
line. Other line sizes will not properly
feed in the trimmer head and could cause
serious injury. Never use other materials
such as wires, string or rope, as this may
break off during cutting and cause serious
injury.

5. ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD (SEE FIG G)
An extension cord retainer is built into the Rear
Handle that prevents the cord from coming
unplugged. To use this feature, simply double the
extension cord about 8 inches (203mm) from the end,
forming a small loop. Insert this loop into the slot
on the back of the handle. Hook the end of the loop
over the tab. 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 Plug
