OPERATIOn

W A R N I N G

To avoid injury:

• •Do not squeeze the trigger while the grass trimmer/edger is inverted.
• Do not carry the grass trimmer/edger with your finger on the switch. Avoid unintentional starting.

To Turn On/Off: (See Figure 7.)

1. Press the safety lock out button (2) and squeeze the trigger switch (1) to start.
2. Release the trigger switch (1) to stop.

C A U T I O N

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.

Edging Function (See Figure 8.) For use next to patios, driveways and walkways or any areas requiring a well groomed edge line. 1. Push on the edge button(1) and tilt the trimmer head 90 degrees until the head locks into position and release button.

IMPORTANT: The battery must be removed before making adjustments.

Lengthening the Line (See Figure 9.) 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" (6.4 mm).

Trimmer Tips

Before each use

• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed. Tighten the guard screw.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charger is disconnected before using or storing the trimmer.
• Do not store the grass trimmer/edger in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace. The battery life will be shortened.
• If the battery must be stored in a warm place, charge it frequently.
• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become entangled in the cutting line and thrown.

During use

• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting.
• Hold the grass trimmer/edger by both the switch handle and the auxiliary handle for best control and balance.
• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer/edger in a semicircular motion around you.
• If possible, guide the grass trimmer/edger to the left to cut.The line will cut as soon as it leaves the guard, and the clippings are thrown away from you.
• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the grass trimmer/edgermout of the area being cut with consistent speed and height.
• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences. Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more often.
• Do not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool wear and battery drain.
• If the grass is higher than 6” (15 cm), trim in small stages.
• When the grass trimmer/edger is turned off and the spool stops rotating, the cutting line will relax and may recede. Feed extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing the line completely into the spool.
• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to be advanced more often.
• If the grass trimmer/edger is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly. Remove and rewind the line spool.

CHARGING PROCEDURE (See Figure 10)

NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge before first use to ensure that maximum run time can be achieved.
