and place underneath the cord retainer.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER (FIG. 10)
Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:
• Press spring button, then connect up and down boom as shown in Fig. 7.
• hold the trimmer with one hand on the rear handle and the other hand on the front handle.
• Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
• Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
• Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft
housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating.

If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:

• Stop the trimmer.
• unplug the string trimmer.
• Remove the grass.
