, guide the trimmer as shown
in Fig.L.
• Position the edging wheel on the edge of the sidewalk
or abrasive surface so the cutting line is over the grass or
dirt area to beedged.
NOTE: The Auto Feed System may not operate correctly if
wheeled edge guide is notused.
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
abrasivesurface.

• Return to the trimming postion by loosening the lock
collar and rotating the lower housing back 180°. The

Cutting Line / Line Feeding
Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND
nylon line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will
become frayed and worn and the special self feeding
spool will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of
line. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding
if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other
abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The
advanced automatic line feeding mechanism senses when
more cutting line is needed and feeds and trims the correct
length of line whenever it’s required. Do not bump trimmer
on ground in attempt to feed line or for any otherpurposes.
Helpful Cutting Tips
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncutgrass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear stringrapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or othersurfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 12 inches (304.8 mm)high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cuttingarea.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at theoperator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by thestring.
