Operating Instructions
1. Starting and Stopping
To start the trimmer, press the safety lock button and then squeeze the trigger switch. To stop, release the trigger switch.
2. 2-in-1 Trimmer & Edger Function
The MAXLANDER unit easily converts between a string trimmer and a wheel edger. For trimming, hold the unit with the cutting head parallel to the ground. For edging, rotate the head 90 degrees using the edger function switch and utilize the pre-installed rubberized wheel for guidance along edges.
