THE EDGE GUIDE (Fig. 5)
Your trimmer comes with an Edge Guide
that is handy for use as a cutting guide.
It can be used to help keep the cutting line
away from items you don’t want cut,
such as flowers, or damaged, such as
fences or screens.
Each end of the wire edge guide is force-fitted
into a hole located on each side of the trimmer’s
head. To use the edge guide, pull (force) it down
into the guide position as shown in Fig. 5.
