AT TACHING EXTENSION CORD TO TRIMMER

An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that prevents the extension cord
from pulling out of the handle. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord as
shown in Figure 1, about a foot from the end and insert it into the end of the handle. Hook the
loop formed by doubling the cord over the tab, as shown in Figure 2. Gently tug on the cord
to ensure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer’s handle. Plug the receptacle end of the
extension cord into the tool's power supply cord. Figure 3 illustrates an alternate method for
securing the extension cord to the trimmer power supply cord.

EXCHANGING BLADES

TURN OFF POWER AND UNPLUG TRIMMER.

WARNING: The metal portions of the unit and blade can become hot after heavy use.

Allow to cool before touching. The use of work gloves is recommended when handling
the blade.

Grasp the blade latch grip (Fig. 4) and rotate toward the back of the unit until the latch detent
reaches the fully open position as shown in Fig. 5. With the handle fully open, pull straight
out on the black plastic cassette portion of the exchangeable blade as shown in Fig. 6.

Important - When replacing the blade, make sure that the long drive pin and the mating
surface of the blade cassette are clean and apply a few drops of light oil to the side of the pin.
Next align the pin with the center hole in the drive spud as shown in Fig. 7. Guide the drive
spud onto the pin until the cassette is fully seated against the trimmer. It may be necessary to
rotate the cassette about the pin until the two alignment pins fit into the metal cover plate on
the cassette (Fig. 7). Use the heel of your hand to rotate the blade latch grip handle toward
the front of the unit until it "snaps" fully closed as shown in Fig. 8.

BAIL HANDLE

WARNING:Do not use hedge trimmer without bail handle.

The bail handle can be locked in four different positions. To change the position of the handle
