1. ASSEMBLY OF THE SAFETY GUARD (See Fig. A)
Remove the screw from the Safety Guard (4) and fit the guard to the trimmer head; align the guard so it slides into the slots located on the trimmer head. Turn the tool over and secure the Safety Guard onto the trimmer head with the screw (a) provided.
2. ASSEMBLY OF THE EDGER WHEEL
(See Fig. B)
With the tool right side up, slide the Edger Wheel (8) assembly onto the metal plate located on the side of the trimmer head. Make sure the grooves of the Edger Wheel assembly lock onto the metal plate; you will hear it click into place. To remove the wheel assembly, press the release button (b) on the wheel and pull the wheel assembly upward.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The cutting head continues to
rotate after the trimmer has been switched off. Wait until it stops before laying the trimmer down.
• Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the
trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into the eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.
• Hold front handle with one hand and auxiliary
handle with the other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.
• Before operating, make sure both trimmer lines
are extended. When trimming, make sure motor is running at full speed.
• Use only 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.

An extension cord retainer is built into the Rear Handle (1) that prevents the cord from coming unplugged. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord about (203mm from the end, forming a small loop. Insert this loop into the slot on the back of the handle. Hook the end of the loop over the tab. Gently tug on the cord to insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer’s handle. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the Plug Insert (2) in the trimmer.
6. ADJUSTMENT OF TRIMMER HEAD ANGLE
To adjust the trimmer head angle downwards, put one foot on the motor housing, then grip the Rear and Auxiliary handles, and apply adequate force to adjust, as shown in Fig. H1. To adjust the trimmer head angle upwards, put one foot on the Safety Guard (4), then grip the Rear and Auxiliary handles and apply adequate force to adjust, as shown in Fig. H2.
7. USING THE ON/OFF TRIGGER
Press and hold the on/off trigger to start the trimmer. Release to stop.
8.TRIMMING
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head just above the ground and at a slight angle. Allow only the tip of line to make contact with the grass. Let the trimmer line work at its own pace; do not force the trimmer line into the work area.
9. EDGING (See Fig. I)
First, rotate the Rear Handle (1) 90 degree clockwise (See “Main Handle Rotation”, Fig. E1&E2). Adjust the trimmer head angle to be the lowest horizontal setting (See “Adjustment of the Trimmer Head Angle”, Fig H1). Then position the Edger Wheel (8) on the ground for edge mode (See Fig. I). There are two white lines, located on each end of the Safety Guard (4), that show the cutting plane of the trimmer line. Align these marks with the edge of your lawn. While edging, allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line. The wheel helps to prevent the unit from touching the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.
10. 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).
11. MANUALLY FEEDING THE LINE (See Fig. J)
Press and release the Line Feed Button (16) (See Fig. J) whilst gently pulling out on one of the lines until it has reached 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 Line Feed Button again). If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line has been fed out. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap and click the spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

12. REMOVING THE CAP
Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches (12) (See Fig K). Pull the Cutting Head Cover (11) away from the Cutting Head (14). Keep the Cutting Head Cover and the inside of the Cutting Head clean from debris. To replace the Cutting Head Cover, press it firmly onto the spool holder. Ensure that it is correctly connected by trying to remove it without depressing the two Cap Release Latches.
13. CHANGING THE LINE SPOOL
First take off the Cutting Head Cover (11) and remove the old Spool (13). Place the new Spool onto the Cutting Head (14). Feed one line through the Eyelet (15), and then repeat for the second line. Reattach the Cutting Head Cover.
WARNING! our Trimmer is designed to only
use line with a maximum diameter of 0.065 (1.65mm”. Only use nylon line. IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the upper section of the spool first.
14. TO MANUALLY WIND LINE
Take approximately 5m of line and insert 15mm of line into one of the holes in the upper section of the Spool (13) (See Fig L1). Wind the line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the Spool. Repeat process with

Fig. L2 & L3). Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and place it into the cleat. Repeat on the lower section of the Spool. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neatly coiled on the Spool (See Fig L4). Failure to do so will impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed. Then fit the Spool as described above in “Changing
the Line Spool”.
MAINTENANCE
After use, disconnect the machine from the electrical outlet and check for damage. Your trimmer requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your trimmer. Electric powered trimmers should only be repaired by an authorized repairer. Use only manufacturers recommended replacement parts and accessories. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your trimmer. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your trimmer in a dry place out of the reach of children. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, this is normal and will not damage your trimmer.
