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.

CAUTION:

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)

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.
