Trimming Edging
WARNING:
Always wear eye protec-
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury.
When operating unit, stand as shown and
check for the following:
S
Wear eye protection and heavy clothing.
S Hold trigger handle with right hand and as-
sist handle with left hand.
S Keep unit below waist level.
S Cut only from your right to your left to en-
sure debris is thrown away from you. With-

ically. Do not tap head on the ground to
advance line. This may break parts and
cause cutting head to malfunction.
Always keep the shield in placewhen the tool
is being operated.
Line Limiter Pin
Shield
After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be
cut to the correct length by the line limiter pin
as the motor reaches full speed. Make sure
the motor is up to full speed before trim-
ming. If the noise of the cutting line being cut
cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed
out.
To feed more line:
S Allow the motor to stop completely; then, re-
start the motor and allow it to reach full
speed.
S Repeat until you hear the line hitting against
the line limiter pin (do not repeat this proce-
dure more than 6 times).
If problems are experienced with the auto-
matic line feed, refer to the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING TABLE.
To manually feed the nylon line:
S If required, the cutting line can be fed out
manually.
S To operate, press and release manual line
feed button while gently pulling on one of
the line until it reaches the line limiter pin.
Manual Line

S If the line extends past the line limiter pin,
too much line has been fed out. If too much
line is fed out, remove the spool cap and
click spool counterclockwise until the line is
at the desired length.
