OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Always use proper eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA
Z94.3) while operating this power trimmer.
WARNING: Remove the battery before making any assembly, adjustments, or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
trimmer
accidentally.
CAUTION: Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate type of cutting line.
CAUTION: Inspect area to be trimmed and remove any wire, cord, or string-like objects
which could become entangled in the rotating line or spool. Be particularly careful to avoid any
wire which might be bent outwardly into the path of the trimmer, such as barbs at the base of
a chain link fence.

NOTE:
The Auto Feed System may not operate correctly if wheeled edge guide is not used.
NOTE: You will experience faster than normal cutting line wear if the edging wheel is positioned
too far from the edge with the cutting line positioned over the sidewalk or abrasive surface.
EDGING
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 100 feet (30m) away.
Optimum cutting results are achieved on edges deeper than 2 inches (50 mm).
• Do not use this trimmer to create trenches.
• Using the edging wheel (7), guide the trimmer as shown in figure K.
• Positiontheedgingwheelontheedgeofthesidewalkorabrasivesurfacesothecutting

• To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the trimmer.
