1. Hold the power handle with one hand on the rear handle and your other hand on the
front-assist handle.
2. Keep a firm grip with both hands while operating the tool.
3. The trimmer head should be parallel to the ground such that it easily contacts the
material to be cut without the operator having to bend over. (Fig. 5)

Tips for best trimming results:
NOTE: Excessive force or bashing the trimmer bump head on the ground to advance the
cutting line will damage the bump head.
1. Always use your machine with the cutting attachment parallel to the ground. The
trimmer shaft should be at about a 35°angle from the ground.
2. When starting, hold the machine at a safe distance from the ground. Once the
motor has started, you can begin to cut.
3. Slowly swing your trimmer from left to right for the best results.
4. Do not force the trimmer. High grass should be cut in layers, beginning from top to
bottom in small increments.
5. Do not cut damp or wet grass.
6. Avoid hitting the trimmer line against hard objects (stone, walls, fences, etc.). This
will wear out the line and decrease the longevity of your machine.
7. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can be
easily damaged and create hazardous flying shrapnel.

6.3 CHANGING THE CUT-OFF BLADE
Remove the battery pack from the string trimmer before inspecting, cleaning, or
performing maintenance.
This string trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the guard. The line
cut-off blade continuously trims the line to ensure a consistent and efficient cut
diameter. Advance line whenever you hear the motor running faster than normal, or
when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will ensure the best possible perfor-
mance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.
This trimmer comes set to a 16-inch cutting diameter. To adjust the cutting swath to
14 inches:
NOTE: Set the cut-off blade to 14 in. for a greater run time. Set the cut-off blade to 16
in. for a greater cutting area.
1. Remove the battery from the string trimmer.
2. Remove both screws on the cut-off blade with a hex wrench. (Fig.6A)
3. Rotate the cut-off blade 180°. (Fig.6A)
4. Re-assemble both screws in the blade. (Fig.6B)

6.4 CUTTING LINE ADVANCE
Do not remove or alter the line-cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will
cause the motor to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
Do not use excessive force or bash the Trimmer Bump Head on the ground. If the
trimming line will not advance after tapping the bump head, the cutting line may
have been used up. Alternatively, the cutting line may be tangled. Take out the
battery and turn off your machine before checking for a tangled line.
