PLEASE READ - SAVE THESESTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed to assure maximum safety and optimum performance. Read this manual before assembling and operating this appliance. Failure to comply with instructions may result in electrical shock, burns, fire, or personal injury.
WARNING
1-1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:
- FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed in this manual before/during operation of this trimmer.
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the extension cord, reverse the plug. Do not change the plug in any way.
- INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE to the housing or plug. Keep all fasteners tight. Do not use if the trigger does not turn the unit off properly. Never use unit if cord or plug has been damaged, the motor or unit itself is not working as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped in water. Never operate with any air opening blocked. Keep air openings free of debris that may reduce air flow. Replace damaged parts that are chipped, cracked or damaged in any way. Keep cutter knife sharp.
- DOUBLE INSULATED to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of 2 separate "layers" of electric insulation. Appliances built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet. Normal safety precautions must be observed when operating an electrical appliance. The double insulation system is only for added protection against injury resulting from a possible internal electrical insulation failure.
- EXTENSION CORD - Use only with an extension cord intended for outdoor use. Match wire gauge to the cord length. See table below. A 2-wire cord without a ground connection may be used since this appliance is double insulated. If in doubt of proper wire size, use the next heavier gauge. Please note that the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Table 1
| MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE RECOMMENDATIONS | ||
| VOLTS | EXTENSION CORD LENGTH | WIRE SIZE REQUIRED |
| 120 | 25 feet / 7.5m | 18 A.W.G.* |
| 50 feet / 15m | 16 A.W.G.* | |
| 100 feet / 30m | 16 A.W.G.* | |
| *American Wire Gauge | ||
(1). When using the appliance, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety and to prevent loss of power and overheating.
(2). The extension cord must be specifically intended for outdoor use and marked “SJ” or “SJT” and with the suffix “WA”. In Canada, the extension cord must be marked “SFTW”.
(3). Inspect extension power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. If damaged, replace before using appliance.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD - Never carry appliance by cord or pull cord to disconnect from outlet. Keep cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times. Do not expose cord to heated surfaces, oil or water. Do not pull cord around sharp edges, corners or close door on cord.
- NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE - Your double insulated appliance has no serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. For service information, contact the Yard Machines Product Service Department.
- RISK OF EYE INJURY - Always wear goggles or other suitable eye protection when operating your trimmer. Edging increases the risk of injury caused by flying debris. Always keep bystanders at a safe distance.
- KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY from rotating line. Do not operate without debris shield attached.
- DRESS PROPERLY - Always wear long pants, shoes and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals or go barefoot.
- KEEP AREA CLEAR - Keep everyone, especially children and pets away from the area of operation 50 feet (15m). Turn off unit immediately if you are approached. Never allow children to operate the appliance to be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time.
- AVOID A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Do not use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases, smoking or burning materials to avoid creating a fire or explosion. Never operate the trimmer in wet or damp conditions or around swimming pools, hot tub, etc. Do not use in rain. Do not handle plug, cord or appliance with wet hands.
- USE APPLIANCE CORRECTLY - Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT SWEEP WITH TRIMMER - Sweeping refers to tilting stringhead to sweep away debris from walkways, etc. Your trimmer is a powerful tool and small stones or other such debris may be hurled 50 feet or more, causing injury or damage to nearby property such as automobiles, homes and windows. Inspect area before starting the appliance to remove debris and other objects that can cause damage during operation.
- DO NOT USE ACCESSORIES or attachments except as recommended and provided by Yard Machines. Do not use any type of wire or metal cutting line.
- DO NOT OVERREACH - Keep firm footing and balance at all times.
- AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING - Do not carry plugged in trimmer with your finger on the switch.
- DISCONNECT trimmer from power supply when not in use and before servicing stringhead.
- STORE idle trimmer indoors. Appliance should be stored in a dry, high or locked up place - out of the reach of children.
- Don't grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the appliance.
- Don't force appliance - it will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.

STARTING
- When starting the string-trimmer for the first time, check that the nylon wires touch or pass over the wire-cutting blade. If they are not long enough, press the button and, at the same time, pull the nylon wires. (Fig. 9)
- Connect the plug of the string-trimmer to the extension cord and attach to the handle.
- Make sure the length of grass trimmer and position of assist handle is most applicable before use, adjust the length of grass trimmer by pressing the shaft locking button, adjust the height of assist handle by releasing the loosening the wingnut.
- Take a secure hold of the grass trimmer and, without letting it touch the grass to be cut unlock security then press the switch on the upper handgrip. Let the string trimmer run for a few seconds and "bump" the stringhead against the lawn. Nylon line will automatically release. The cut-off knife in the debris shield will trim off excess line.
- To switch off the string trimmer let go of the switch.

CAUTION: A short or worn line cuts less efficiently so, to improve its operation on subsequent occasions, bump the stringhead lightly on the ground while the trimmer is running.(Fig 10)
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 grass trimmer. Start off slowly, when you have gained experience, you will be able to use the grass trimmer to its full potential.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECT THE CORD
- Ensure the cord is NOT plugged into a receptacle before this procedure.
- Make a loop with 8'' - 10'' (20 - 25cm) of the end of the extension cord.
- Place the loop into the slot (A) under the rear handle and lock into place on the cord retainer (B) as shown in Figure 11.
- Connect the extension cord to the trimmer power cord.
- Plug the extension cord into a receptacle ONLY when you are ready to operate the trimmer.

Fig. 11
TRIMMER OPERATION
- TRIMMING / MOWING (Fig. 12). Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the stringhead during the procedure. Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep stringhead at same level for even depth of cut.
- CLOSER TRIMMING (Fig. 13). Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of stringhead is above ground level and string contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away from operator. Do not pull trimmer in toward operator.
- FENCE/FOUNDATION TRIMMING. Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock walls and foundations slowly to cut close without whipping string against the barrier. If the string comes in contact with rock, brick walls, or foundations, it will break or fray. If string snags fencing, it will snap off.
-
TRIMMING AROUND TREES. Trim around tree trunks with a slow approach so string does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the string and tilt stringhead slightly forward.
-
SCALPING (Fig. 14). Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the stringhead to about a 30 degree angle to the left. By adjusting the handle you will have better control during this operation. Always keep a distance of 50 feet (15 meters) from other people and animals when scalping. Do not attempt this procedure if there is any chance flying debris could injure operator, other people or cause damage to property.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- OPERATING AS AN EDGER (Fig. 15). With the unit configured as an edge, hold it so the motor is to your left side so that debris is thrown to the rear. Always use eye protection.
- SWEEPING - DO NOT SWEEP WITH TRIMMER (Fig. 16)
- DO NOT BUMP TRIMMER ON CONCRETE. This can damage the stringhead (Fig. 17).
