Fit, Reach & Head Adjustments STOPRemove the battery and wait for the line to stop before making any adjustment. Set the auxiliary handle Loosen the handle knob, rotate the handle to a comfortable position, and retighten the knob securely. Set the pole length Unlock the shaft adjustment knob, extend or shorten the telescoping pole within its 36.6-48.4 inch range, then lock the knob firmly. Set the trimming angle Press the multi-angle head adjustment button, move the motor housing to 0, 15, 30, or 45 degrees, and release the button to lock the head. Confirm every lock Gently check the handle, pole, and motor housing. Do not operate if a component moves after it is locked. Starting, Trimming & Stopping Prepare the work area Remove stones, sticks, wire, and other debris. Wear eye protection, non-slip gloves, sturdy footwear, and suitable clothing. Install the charged battery Slide the battery into the compartment until the push-lock clicks securely into place. Start with both controls Press and hold the safety button first, then squeeze the On/Off switch to start the trimmer. Trim with the line tip Hold the head about 10-30 degrees to the ground and sweep slowly from side to side. Let only the line tip contact grass. Handle tall grass in small sections Work from the top down and take small bites. Do not force the head into dense growth or drag the spool hub on the ground. Stop safely Release the On/Off switch, wait for the line to stop completely, then remove the battery before carrying, checking, or storing the tool. DRYTrim dry grass only. Do not operate in rain, wet grass, or temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Edging Mode Power off and remove the battery Wait until the nylon line has stopped completely before converting the tool. Lower the edger guide Flip the edger guide / flower guard down so it can track along the edge. Rotate the cutting head Press the head locking button, rotate the head 90 degrees into the edging position, and release the button to lock it. Confirm the head is locked Do not install the battery until the housing is fully seated in the 90-degree position. Guide the edge Use the guide near borders, walls, or fences and move backward along the edge while keeping the line away from hard surfaces. Auto-Feed, Spool Service & Line Jams LINEUse 0.063 in. (1.6 mm) nylon trimmer line. The automatic feed advances line after the switch is released; this trimmer is not designed for bump feeding. Advance line automatically Release the On/Off switch, wait at least two seconds, and restart. Each stop-and-start cycle advances approximately 1/4 inch of line until it reaches the guard's cutting blade. Remove the battery for spool work Wait for all movement to stop, turn the tool over, press both spool-cover release tabs, and lift off the cover. Remove and clean the spool Lift the spool out and clear grass, soil, and tangled line from the spool, cover, and housing. Free a jammed line Unwrap approximately 6 inches (15 cm) of line and route it through the exit slot without crossing or pinching it. Reinstall the spool Align and press the spool into place until it clicks, then refit the cover until both release tabs lock. Trim to operating length Reinstall the battery and briefly run the tool so the guard blade safely cuts excess line to the correct length. Safe Operating Practices 1 Wear proper protection Use safety glasses with side shields, non-slip gloves, sturdy footwear, and clothing that will not catch in moving parts. 2 Keep people and pets clear Stop work if anyone enters the area. The cutting line can throw debris at high speed. 3 Avoid hard objects Do not strike wire, rocks, fences, concrete, trees, or other hard surfaces with the nylon line. 4 Keep the tool dry Do not use or leave the trimmer, battery, or charger in rain, moisture, or wet conditions. 5 Remove the battery before service Disconnect power before adjustment, line handling, clearing a blockage, cleaning, inspection, transport, or storage. Cleaning, Maintenance & Storage STOPRemove the battery, let the motor cool, and wear gloves before cleaning or maintenance. 1 Clean without spraying Wipe the housing with a dry cloth or a rag lightly dampened with mild soap. Never spray, rinse, immerse, or use solvents. 2 Clear the vents and guard Remove grass, soil, and debris from the ventilation openings, motor housing, guard, spool cover, and guide after use. 3 Keep spare line flexible Store spare nylon line in a sealed plastic bag with a small amount of water, following the manual's storage guidance. 4 Store securely Remove the battery and keep the clean, dry tool in a safe place out of children's reach. Do not rest the tool on the safety guard; hang it from the upper handgrip when practical.
