then the variable speed trigger
release the variable speed trigger and the lock-off lever.

Trimming (Fig. L, M)
With the trimmer on, angle it and swing side to side as
shown in Fig. L.
Maintain a minimum distance of 24" (610 mm) between the
guard and your feet as shown in Fig. M.
WARNING: Keep the rotating string roughly parallel
with the ground (tilted no more than 30 degrees). This
trimmer is not an edger. DO NOT TILT the trimmer so
that the string is spinning near a right angle to the
ground. Flying debris can cause serious injury.
Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 0.080" (2.0 mm) diameter nylon line.
Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the
cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or
heavier weeds are being cut.
As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to
wear. Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while running
at normal speed and the line will feed.
NoTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 13" (330 mm) swath
will negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of
the trimmer due to potential of damaging motor. Doing so
may void the warranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
•
Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or
other surfaces.
•
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 12" (304.8 mm) high.
•
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
•
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
