Operating Instructions
Starting the Trimmer
To start the trimmer, press and hold the safety switch, then squeeze the trigger. Release the safety switch once the trimmer is running. To stop, release the trigger.
Trimming
Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands. Swing the trimmer from side to side, keeping the cutting line parallel to the ground. The auto-feed line system will automatically advance the line as needed. Use the spacer guard to maintain distance from delicate objects or surfaces.
Edging
To switch to edging mode, rotate the trimmer head 90 degrees. Engage the integrated support wheels to guide the trimmer along the edge of sidewalks, driveways, or flowerbeds. This provides a clean, precise cut.
