CONNECT THE CORD
1. Ensure the cord is NOT plugged into a receptacle
before this procedure.
2. Make a loop with 8” - 10” (20 - 25cm) of the end of the
extension cord.
3. Place the loop into the groove at the end of the rear
handle and lock into place as shown in Fig. 5.
4. Connect the extension cord to the plug on the trimmer.
5. Plug the extension cord into a receptacle ONLY when
you are ready to operate the trimmer.
STARTING
1. When starting the string trimmer for the first time, check
that the nylon lines touch or pass over the line-cutting
blade. If they are not long enough, press the button
and, at the same time, pull the nylon lines (Fig. 6).
2. Connect the plug of the string-trimmer to the extension
cord and attach this to the handle. (Fig. 5)
3. Take a secure hold of the grass trimmer. Without letting
the trimmer touch the grass, press the switch (A) on the
upper handgrip (Fig. 7). Let the string trimmer run for a
few seconds and “bump” the string head against the
lawn. Nylon line will automatically release. The cut-off
knife in the debris shield will trim off excess line.
4. To switch off the string trimmer let go of the switch.
These operations should be repeated a few times before
starting work to make sure that everything is functioning
properly and to familiarize yourself with the string trimmer.
Start off slowly, when you have gained experience, you will
be able to use the grass trimmer to its full potential.

A short or worn line
cuts less efficiently
so, to improve its operation on subsequent
occasions, tap the spool button lightly on the
ground while the trimmer is running. This will
bring about the self-adjustment of the nylon
line. (Fig. 8)
