OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid injury:

• Do not squeeze the trigger while the grass trimmer/edger is inverted.

• Do not carry the grass trimmer/edger with your nger on the switch. Avoid unintentional starting.

CAUTION: Always allow 5 seconds or more for

the cutting line spool to stop rotating after releasing

the trigger switch. Do not invert the grass trimmer/

edger or place your hands under the protective guard

until the grass trimmer/edger spool has come to a

complete stop.

WARNING

2. Lengthening the line

While the grass trimmer/edger is operating, the

cutting line gets worn down and becomes shorter.

This trimmer is equipped with automatic line

advancement, which automatically feeds additional

line to the correct length as it wears down. If the

line does not auto advance, the trimmer line may

be tangled or empty. To advance the line, stop

and restart the trimmer. Upon starting, the line will

automatically advance 1/4 in. (6.4 mm).

Trimmer tips

Before each use:

• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed.

If not, tighten the guard screws.

• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become

entangled in the cutting line and thrown.

Storage tips:

• Do not store the grass trimmer/edger in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace.

The battery life will be shortened.
