SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric garden-
ing 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-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
a) Replacement parts. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
b) Polarized appliance connections. To re-
duce 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. 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, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug
in any way.
2. FOR ALL APPLIANCES
a) Avoid dangerous environment. 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 properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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 right appliance. Do not use appliance for
any job except that for which it is intended.
g) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
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 ) WARNING! To reduce the risk of elec-
tric 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) Extension cord! Make sure your exten-
sion 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.

cords

j) Avoid unintentional starting. Don’t carry
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
k) Don’t abuse cord. Never carry appli-
ance by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
l) Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades
or cutting edges when picking up or
holding the appliance.
m) Don’t force appliance. It will do the job
better and with less risk of injury at the rate
for which it was designed.
n) Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
o) Stay alert. Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired.
p) Disconnect appliance. Disconnect the ap-
pliance from the power supply when not in
use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as blades, and the like.
q) Store idle appliances indoors. When not
in use, appliances should be stored indoors
in dry, and high or locked-up place, out of
reach of children.
r) Maintain appliance with care. Keep cut-
ting edge sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an
authorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
s) Check damaged parts. Before further use
of the appliance, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
3. EDGER-TRIMMERS
a) Keep guards in place and in working
order.
b) Keep blades sharp.
c) Keep hands and feet away from cutting
area.
4. CULTIVATORS, GRASS SHEARS
a) Keep hands away from blades.
Safe these instructions.

vided, located inside of the guard.
CONNECTING THE SPACER GUARD
Snap the Spacer Guard into the trimmer head
(See C).
When not required, rotate the spacer guard underneath the safety guard and clip into place.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT (See D)
Unscrew the lower adjustment knob (4) extend
the telescopic shaft, then retighten.
ROTATING THE MAIN HANDLE (See E)
Unscrew the upper adjustment knob (3) , rotate
the main handle 90 degrees clockwise, then retighten.
ADJUSTING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE
Pull the handle release lever (5), rotate the auxiliary handle to desired position, and release.
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 of the tool (See G).
ON/OFF TRIGGER
Press and hold the trigger to operate the trimmer. Release to stop
Warning: The cutting head continues
to rotate after the trimmer has been
switched off. Wait until it stops before
laying the trimmer down.
OPERATION
Warning: 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.
Warning: Before operating, make
sure both trimmer lines are extend
ed. When trimming, make sure motor is
running at full speed.
Warning: Use only 0.065” 1.65mm diam-
eter 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 only
the tip of line to make contact. Do not force
trimmer line into work area.
EDGING (See H)
Unscrew the upper adjustment knob (3) , rotate
the main and auxiliary handle 90º, 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 I)
Press and release manual line feed button (16),
whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines
reaches the line cutter.
