Push down and rotate the power saver knob
degrees (1/2 turn) to shorten the length of the trimmer line. This

Operating Tips

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
Tilt the trimmer so that the trimmer string is lowest on the
right side.
The trimmer cuts best when passing the unit from left to right.
This will also avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the strings.
