_ ARNING!When using electric

gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions must always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and

serious injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1.

FOR ALL DOUBLE-
INSUUtTEDAPPUANCES

a)

Replacement parts.When servicing use

only identical replacement parts.

b)

Polarized appliance connections.To reduce

the risk of electric shock, this appliance

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. Ifthe 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,

protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the

gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection

and may be used for an added measure of
safety.

h) /_k WARNING!To reduce the risk of

extension cord intended for outdoor use,
such as an extension cord of cord type

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.

i) Extension cord! 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 extension cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.Table 1

shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere

rating, if in doubt, use the next heavier
gage.The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.To reduce the risk of

disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:

i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 2
ii) Use one ofthe plug-receptacle retaining

straps or connectors described in this
manual.

3 inches above the ground and at an angle.

Allow only
the tip of line to make contact. Do not force

trimmer line into work area.

cutting position at the edge of your lawn.
While edging, allow the tip of the line to make

contact. Do not force the line.The wheel helps
prevent the unit from touching the ground.

Take extra caution while edging as objects can
be thrown from the trimmer line.

AUTOMATIC LiNE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a

small length of line is fed out. A 'clattering'
noise will be heard for a short time.This

is normal and is caused by the line being
cut bythe line cutter. Once the line is cutto

the correct length, the 'clattering' noise will
stop and the trimmer motor will run at full

speed.To feed more line, stop the trimmer
completely, then restart, allowing the motor

to reach full speed. Repeat this until you hear
the 'clattering' noise of the line cutting. (Do not

repeat this procedure more than 6 times)

the lines reaches the line cutter. When the
required amount of line is fed out, gently pull

on the second line (there is no need to press
the manual line feed button again). Ifthe line
