CUTTING TIPS See Figure 6.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
„ The trimmer will cut better when moved from left
to right across the area to be cut; it is less effective
when moved from right to left.
„ Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
„ Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and
wood may wear cutting line rapidly.
„ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by
the cutting line.
„ Attach metal knob to the rubber hole on the rear
handle when in use, unlock the metal knob when not
in use.

the head to try to advance the line.
„ With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
„ Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The cutting line will extend approximately 2mm
with each stop and start of the trigger until the cutting
line reaches the length of the grass deflector cut-off
blade.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY
„ Remove the battery pack.
„ Push the black button located on the cutting head
while pulling on cutting line to manually advance the

LINE CUT-OFF BLADE See Figure 6.
„ This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on
the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line
until it is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade.
Advance line whenever you hear the engine running
faster than normal,or when trimming efficiency
diminishes. This will maintain best performance and
keep line long enough to advance properly.
