While the grass trimmer/edger is operating, the
cutting line gets worn down and becomes shorter.
This trimmer is equipped with automatic line
advancement, which automatically feeds additional
line to the correct length as it wears down. If the
line does not auto advance, the trimmer line may
be tangled or empty. To advance the line, stop
and restart the trimmer. Upon starting, the line will
automatically advance 1/4 in. (6.4 mm).
Trimmer tips
Before each use:
• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed.
If not, tighten the guard screws.
• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become
entangled in the cutting line and thrown.
Storage tips:
• Do not store the grass trimmer/edger in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace.
The battery life will be shortened.
