is best to cut through heavier growth and for applications that
need higher RPM.
nOTE: When in "HI" mode, runtime will be decreased as
compared to when trimmer is in "LO" mode.

With the trimmer on, angle it and swing side to side as shown
in Figure H.

parallel with the ground (tilted no more than 30 degrees).
This trimmer is not an edger. DO NOT TILT the trimmer so
that the string is spinning near a right angle to the ground.
Flying debris can cause serious injury.

As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear.
Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while running at
normal speed and the line will feed.
nOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 330 mm swath will
negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of the
trimmer due to potential of damaging motor. Doing so may
void the warranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips
•
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.
•
Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other surfaces.
•
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
304.8 mm high.
•
Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
•
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
Reloading the Cutting Line (Fig. J, K)
WARNING:
personal injury, turn appliance off and remove
battery before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION:
Use only D
spools and line. Using any other manufacturer's line
can reduce performance, damage the trimmer or cause
personal injury. Your trimmer uses 2.032 mm diameter
line, however a 02.413 mm line may be used as long as it is
spiral-shaped with smooth, round edges, but may reduce
runtime of the trimmer.
CAUTION:
To avoid appliance damage, if the
cutting line protrudes beyond the trimming blade, cut it off
so that it just reaches the blade.
Use only D
WALT replacement line.

as shown in Figure J.
4. Thread one end of the trimmer line through an eyelet. Guide
the line through to the second eyelet and continue to pull
the line through until there are equal lengths of string on
each side of the spool housing as shown in Figure J.
5. Secure the spool cap
from moving with one hand. Using
