POWERCOMMAND Button (Fig. K)
The POWERCOMMAND feature allows you to advance the
length of cutting line available while trimming.
To extend the cutting line, fully depress the
u
POWERCOMMAND button (4) while trimming and then
release (figure K).
Note: The trimmer will stop cutting when the
POWERCOMMAND button is pressed and will resume cutting
when released.
For maximum line length, press the button multiple times
u
until you hear the cutting line hitting the guard.
Note: Do not continue to press the POWERCOMMAND
button once the maximum length is reached. This will result in
overfeeding and will consume string quickly.
Convert to edging mode (Fig. L, M)
Warning! The wheeled edge guide should only be used when
in the edging mode.
The trimmer can be used in trimming mode or edging mode to
trim overhanging grass along lawn edges and flower beds. For
edging, the trimmer head should be in the position shown in
Figure M. If it is not:
Remove the battery from the trimmer.
u
Grasp the flip-to-edge collar (8) and push down as
u
shown in part 1 of Figure L.
Rotate the flip-to-edge collar 180° counterclockwise as
u
shown in part 2, until the handle snaps back into the
upper half of the trimmer.
To return to trimming position, pull the flip-to-edge collar
u
down and rotate the head clockwise back to its original
position.
Note: You will experience faster than normal cutting line wear
if the trimmer line is positioned directly over the sidewalk or
abrasive surface.
Edging (Fig. M)
Warning! When being used as an Edger, stones, pieces of
metal and other objects can be thrown out at high speed by
the line. The trimmer and guard are designed to reduce the
danger. However, MAKE SURE that other persons and pets
are at least 30 m away. Optimum cutting results are achieved
on edges deeper than 50 mm.
Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
u
Using the edging wheel (10), guide the trimmer as shown
u
in Figure M.
Position the edging wheel on the edge of the sidewalk or
u
abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or dirt
area to be edged.
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.

Speed control & runtime extension mode (Fig. N)
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
(Figure N).
To extend runtime, pull the speed-control switch (5) back
u
toward the battery (13) into position #1. This mode is best
for larger projects that require more time to complete.
To accelerate the trimmer, push the speed-control switch
u
forward toward the trimmer head (9) into position #2.
This mode is best to cut through heavier growth and for
applications that need higher RPM.
Note: When in acceleration mode (#2), runtime will be
decreased as compared to when trimmer is in extended
runtime mode (#1).
Helpful cutting tips
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
u
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
u
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other
u
surfaces.
In long growth cut from the top down and do not exceed
u
300 mm high.
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
u
best cutting area.
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to
u
left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
u
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
Cutting line / line feeding
Your trimmer uses 1.65 mm diameter, Round nylon line.
During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and
worn and the special self feeding spool will automatically feed
and trim a fresh length of line. Cutting line will wear faster and
require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along
sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are
being cut. The advanced automatic line feeding mechanism
senses when more cutting line is needed and feeds and
trims the correct length of line whenever it's required. Do not
bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other
purposes.
