3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and a damp rag.
4. DO NOT immerse tool in water or squirt it with a hose. DO NOT allow any liquid to get
inside it.
5. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
6. DO NOT clean with a pressure washer.
7. The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over time.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug
will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. If the
extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor work. The letters "WA"
on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
ASSEMBLY / ADJUSTMENT SET-UP

CUTTING LINE
LINE FEEDING
Your trimmer uses .080" (2mm) diameter, ROUND nylon line to cut grass and weeds
quickly and easily. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and worn
and the special self feeding line hub 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 its required. DO NOT BUMP unit
on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes.
CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES
From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stalky weeds, the line feeding hub
may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will become jammed as a
result. To clear the jam, follow the steps listed below.

less you'll hear the nylon line being cut automatically to the proper length.
SPOOL OR LINE REPLACEMENT (Use .080" diameter ROUND line only)
1. Unplug the trimmer. Press the release tabs on the line hub cap, as shown in Figure 9
and remove the cap by pulling it straight off.
