DECORATIVE TRIMMING
When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate the whole
unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 7).
EDGING
The trimmer attachment can be used for edging (Fig. 8).
Alternatively, bladed lawn edger attachments can also be purchased
for use with this unit.
Rotating the Trimmer Attachment
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury and
damage to the unit, shut the unit off before rotating the
attachment.
When edging around sidewalks, flowerbeds, etc., rotate the trimmer
attachment 90° inside the coupler. DO NOT rotate the entire unit 90°.
1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen the coupler (Fig. 3).
Refer to Operating the Coupler in the Assembly section.
2. Press and hold the release button (Fig. 5).
3. Rotate the attachment until the release button snaps firmly into
the 90° edging hole (Fig. 9).
4. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten the coupler (Fig. 3).
CAUTION:
Only snap the release button into the 90°
edging hole when edging with the trimmer attachment.
Using the 90° edging hole with other attachments could
lead to personal injury or damage to the unit.
Maintaining the Line Blades
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the line blades to wear
down quickly or break.
•
Inspect the line blades frequently. Replace any worn or
damaged line blades before resuming operation. Refer to
Replacing the Line Blades in the Maintenance section.
•
DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many passes as are
necessary to achieve the desired depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
