EDGING
The trimmer attachment can be used for edging (Fig. 13).
Alternatively, bladed lawn edger attachments can also be purchased
for use with this unit.
Rotating the Trimmer Attachment
When edging around sidewalks, flowerbeds, etc., rotate the trimmer
attachment 90° inside the coupler. DO NOT rotate the entire unit 90°.
1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen the coupler (Fig. 3).
Refer to Operating the Coupler in the Assembly section.
2. Press and hold the release button (Fig. 5).
3. Rotate the attachment until the release button snaps firmly into
the 90° edging hole (Fig. 14).
4. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten the coupler (Fig. 3).
Maintaining the Trimming Line
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the trimming line to
wear down quickly or break.
• Frequently check and adjust the trimming line length. Refer to
Adjusting the Trimming Line Length. Always keep the trimming
line fully extended.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many passes as are
necessary to achieve the desired depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.

CAUTION:
Only snap the release button into the 90°
edging hole when edging with the trimmer attachment.
Using the 90° edging hole with other attachments could
lead to personal injury or damage to the unit.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury and
damage to the unit, shut the unit off before rotating the
attachment.
