nOTE: When in "HI" mode, runtime will be decreased as
compared to when trimmer is in "LO" mode.
Trimming (Fig. F, G)
With the trimmer on, angle it and swing side to side as shown
in Figure F.
Maintain a minimum distance of 610 mm between the guard
and your feet as shown in Figure G.

WARNING:
Keep the rotating string roughly parallel with
the ground (tilted no more than 30 degrees). This trimmer
is not an edger. DO NOT TILT the trimmer so that the string
is spinning near a right angle to the ground. Flying debris
can cause serious injury.
Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed

As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear.
Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while running at
normal speed and the line will feed.
nOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 381 mm swath will
negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of the
trimmer due to potential of damaging motor. Doing so may
void the warranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
• 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 exceed
304.8 mm high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. 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.
Replacement Accessories

by D WALT for use with this appliance could
e
be hazardous.

WARNING:
Do not use any blades, or any accessory or
attachment other than those recommended by D
on this trimmer. Serious injury or product damage
may result.
Your trimmer uses 2.032 mm diameter line, however a
2.413 mm line may be used as long as it is spiral-shaped
with smooth, round edges, but may reduce runtime of
the trimmer.

runtime of the trimmer. Using any other line with the trimmer
can degrade performance and/or cause damage to the trimmer.
Replacing the Cutting Line (Fig. H–I)

CAUTION:
To avoid appliance damage, if the cutting line
protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off so that it
just reaches the blade.
