ADVANCING STRING
NOTE: The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
the trimmer and void the warranty.
 With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
 Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The string will extend approximately 1/4 in. with
each stop and start of the switch trigger until the string
reaches the length of the grass deflector cut-off blade.
 Resume trimming.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
See Figure 11.

Remove the battery pack.

Push the black button located on the string head while
pulling on string to manually advance the string
CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 12.
This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass
deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed
to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you
hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming
efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance
and keep string long enough to advance properly.
ROTATING REAR HANDLE

The rotating rear handle is used in combination with the
edger guide.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Pull up on the edging coupler and turn handle end coun-
terclockwise until the edging coupler locks into place.
Release the edging coupler.
EDGING
See Figures 12 - 14.
Rotate the rear handle when using the edger guide for edging
sidewalks and walkways. To use the edger guide, flip down
from its stored position.
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keeping
clearance between the body and the string trimmer. Any
contact with the string trimmer cutting head while operating
can result in serious personal injury.
