SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING. v 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 |NSTRUCT|GNS

1. FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSUlTED

APPLIANCES

a) Rep|aceme.t pans. 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. 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. Ifthe 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.

2. FOR ALL APPLIANCES
a) Avoid da.Gereus e.vire.ment. Don't

use appliances in damp or wet locations.

b) Don't use in rain.
c) Keep children away. All visitors should

be kept at a distance from work area.

d) Dress proper|y. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry.They can be caught

in moving parts. Use of protective gloves

and substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective

hair covering to contain long hair.

e) Use safety Glasses. Always use face or

dust mask if operation is dusty.

f) Use nG_ appliance, Do not use appliance

for any job except that for which it is intended.

G) Ground Fau|t Circuit |nterrupter (GFC|)

protection sheu|d be provided on the

circuit(s) or eudet(s) to be used for
the Gardening appliance. Receptacles are

available having built-in GFCl protection

and may be used for an added measure of

safety.

b) i_k WARNiNG!T0 reduce the risk of

electric shock, use only with an
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) _tension cod! 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; or
ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining

straps or connectors described in this
manual.

OPERAT|ON

_ NARNiNG: Always wear eye protection

and heavy clothing to prevent rocks and
debris from hitting you and causing an eye
injury or other serious injuries. Use two hands

to operate the trimmer and hold the unit

below waist level. To best ensure that debris
is thrown away from your body, work only

from the right to left. For optimal trimming
and edging results while maintaining comfort,
keep the trimmer head parallel to the ground

when trimming (perpendicular, when edging).

When trimming be sure to keep sufficient
distance between the cutting line and the
ground.

_ ARN|NO: Before operating,

make sure both trimmer |ines are
extended. When trimming, make sure

motor is running at fuji speed.

WARN|NG: Use only 0.065" 1.65mm

diameter cutting line. Other line sizes

will not properly feed in the trimmer head and

could cause serious injury. Never use other
materials such as wires, string or rope, as this
may break off during cutting and cause serious
injury.

TRiMMiNG

Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about
3 in above the ground and at an angle. Allow

onlythe tip of lineto make contact. Do not
force trimmer line into work area.

ADJUSTING THE TRIMMER HEAD ANGLE

Grip the trimmer head with one hand and
the shaft with the other. Change the angle by
applying adequate force.You will hear a heavy
click for each angle adjustment, which is part
of the ratchet mechanism.The clicking sound is

normal and is not a defect ofthetool (See F).

ON/OFF TRIGGER

Press and hold the trigger to operate the
trimmer. Release to stop

_ ARN|NG: The cu_ing head

continues to rotate after the trimmer

has been switched off. Wait until it stops

before |aying the trimmer down.

EDGING (Bee G)
Unscrew the upper adjustment knob (3),
rotate the main and auxiliary handle 90°, and
retighten the knob. Adjust trimmer head angle
so that it is in line with the shaft (horizontal).
Put the wheel on the ground to begin edging,
using the white line guides to indicate the
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 by the line cutter. Once the line is
cut to 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)

TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See H)
While gently pulling on the line, press and

release the manual feed button (16). Repeat

until the line has reached the line cutter. Pull
the second line out in the same manner. If the

line extends past the line cutter, too much line

has been fed out.

Iftoo much line is fed out, remove the spool
cap and click the spool counter-clockwise until

the line is at the desired length.

Rs:MGV|NG THE CAP

Press and hold in the two latches (12) (See J).

le Pull cap away from the spool holder. Keep

the cap and spool holder clean from debris.
To replace the cap, press it firmly towards

the spool holder. Ensure that it is correctly
connected by trying to remove it without

depressing the two latches.

CHANG|N6 THE LINE SPOOL:

First take off the cap and remove the old spool.

Place new spool into cutting head. Feed one

line through the eyelet, then repeat for second

line. Release secured line from the cleat if

needed.Reattach the cap.

_ ARMNG!YourTrimmer is designed

to only use line with a maximum

diameter of 0.065". Only use nylon line.
IMPORTANT _Always wind the line onto

the upper section of the spool first.

TO MANUALLY WIND LINE

Take approximately 16ft line and insert 5/8" of

line into one ofthe holes in the upper section
ofthe spool. Wind the line in the direction of

the arrows on the top of the spool.

Leave approximately 4" of line unwound and
place it into the cleat. Repeat on the lower

section of spool.
Care should be taken to ensure that the line is

neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will
impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed.

Then fit the spool as described above in
"Changing the Une Spool".

MAINTENANCE

After use, disconnect the machine from
the power supply and check for damage.

Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance.There are no user

serviceable parts in your power tool. Electric
trimmers should only be repaired by an

authorised repairer. Use only manufacturers
recommended replacement parts and

accessories.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to

clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry
cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry

place out of the reach of children. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working

controls free of dust. If you see some sparks
flashing in the ventilation slots, this is normal

and will not damage your power tool.
