WARNING:
Always hold the grass trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the
grass trimmer. Any contact with the grass trimmer
cutting head while operating can result in serious
personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 9.
This product is designed to cut small weeds, grass or
similar soft vegetation.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The grass trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right
to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE ON THE
BUMP FEED TRIMMER HEAD
See Figure 10.
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running motor at full speed.
Depress the switch trigger completely.
Tap the bump knob on ground to advance line. The line
advances each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the
knob on the ground.
NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass
deflector will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTE: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, remove
the battery pack and manually advance the line.
To advance the cutting line manually:
Remove the battery pack.
Push the bump knob in while pulling on line(s) to manually
advance the line.
To install:
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
To remove:
Depress the latches and remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the Operator’s
Manuals for your battery pack and charger.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack and keep hands clear of the trigger
lock-out when carrying or transporting the tool.
STARTING/STOPPING THE GRASS TRIMMER
See Figure 7.
To start:
Move the trigger lock-out into the slot in the switch trigger.
Depress the switch trigger.
To stop:
Release the switch trigger to stop the grass trimmer.
Upon release of the switch trigger, the trigger lock-out
will automatically reset to the locked position.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 8.
Follow these tips when using the grass trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.
NOTE: Always wait for the motor to stop and remove the
battery prior to adjusting the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the boom housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
Remove the battery pack.
Remove the grass.
