WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions must always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and serious injury. Read and follow all instructions.
SAFETY INFORMATION ON THE UNIT
This power unit can be dangerous! Operator is responsible for following the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the unit. Read entire instruction manual before using unit! Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the unit. Restrict the use of this unit to persons who read, understand, and follow unit and manual warnings and instructions. Never allow children to operate this unit. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
DANGER: Never use blades or flailing devices. Unit is designed for line trimmer use only. Use of any other accessories or attachments will increase the risk of injury.
WARNING: Trimmer line throws objects violently. You and others can be blinded/ injured. Wear safety glasses, boots, and leg protection. Keep body parts clear of rotating line.
Safety Glasses or similar eye protection
Keep children, bystanders, and animals 50 feet (15 meters) away. If approached stop unit immediately.
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgement. If you need assistance, call 1-800-554-6723.
OPERATOR SAFETY
- Dress properly. Always wear safety glasses or similar eye protection when operating, or performing maintenance on your unit. (Safety glasses are available.) Always wear face or dust mask if operation is dusty. Always wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Do not go barefoot or wear sandals.
-
Secure hair above shoulder length. Secure or remove loose clothing and jewelry or clothing with loosely hanging ties, straps, tassels, etc. They can be caught in moving parts.
-
Being fully covered also helps protect you from debris and pieces of toxic plants thrown by spinning line.
- Stay Alert. Do not operate unit when you are tired, ill, upset or under influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. Watch what you are doing; use common sense.
- Avoid unintentional starting of the unit. Never carry unit with your finger on the switch. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position and never touch the switch when connecting extension cord.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Avoid a dangerous environment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the possibility of electrical shock.
- Use a voltage supply as shown on unit.
- Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or causing damage to unit.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
- To reduce risk of electrical shock, use extension cords specifically marked as suitable for outdoor appliances having electrical rating not less than the rating of unit. Cord must be marked with suffix "W-A" (in Canada "W"). Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cord before use and replace if damaged.
Do not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. An undersized extension cord will cause adrop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord (see SELECT ANEXTENSION CORD in the OPERATION section).
-
Do not use multiple cords.
-
Do not abuse cord. Never carry the unit by the extension cord or yank extension cord to disconnect unit.
- Use cord retainer to prevent disconnection of extension cord from unit and possible damage to the unit due to plug movement (see ATTACH THE EXTENSION CORD TO YOUR TRIMMER in the OPERATION section).
- Do not use the unit if the switch does not turn the unit on and off properly. Repairs to the switch must be made by your authorized service dealer.
- Keep the extension cord clear of operator and obstacles at all times. Do not expose cords to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.
- To avoid the possibility of electric shock, avoid body contact with any grounded conductor, such as metal fences or pipes.
- Ground Fault Circuit Interruption (GFCI) protection should be provided on circuit or outlet to be used. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
UNIT SAFETY
- Inspect unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Make sure all handles, guards, and fasteners are in place and securely fastened. Parts that are damaged must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service dealer. These include head parts that are cracked, or chipped, guards, and any other part that is damaged.
- Do not repair unit yourself.
- Use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter recommended trimmer line (see USER REPLACEABLE SERVICE PARTS in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section). Never use wire, rope, string, etc.
- Use specified trimmer spool. Make sure spool is properly installed and all parts are securely fastened.
- Use only WEED EATER replacement parts and accessories as recommended.
CUTTING SAFETY
- Inspect area to be cut. Remove objects (rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown or become entangled in cutting head.
- Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep firm footing and balance.
- Keep the cutting head below waist level. Do not raise handles above your waist. Cutting head can come dangerously close to your body.
- Keep away from cutting head and spinning line.
- Use unit properly. Use only for trimming, edging, scaling, and mowing. Do not force unit. It will do the job better and with less risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.
- Use only in daylight or in good artificial light.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
WARNING: Disconnect unit from the power supply before performing maintenance, or when changing trimmer line.
- Maintain unit according to recommended procedures. Keep cutting line at proper length. Follow instructions for changing trimmer line.
- Have all service and maintenance not explained in this manual performed by an authorized service dealer to avoid creating a hazard.
- Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Clean unit and decals with a damp sponge. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
- Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to avoid overheating the motor. Clean after each use.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
- Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when not in use.
- Carry the unit with motor stopped.
- Store the unit so the line limiter blade (on underside of shield) cannot cause injury.
- Store unit indoors in a high, dry place out of the reach of children. Store unit unplugged.
- Do not hang unit so that the trigger switch is depressed.
DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate "layers" of electrical insulation instead of grounding.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be added to this unit. As a result, the extension cord used with your unit can be plugged into any standard 120 volt electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING: All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, locking sleeve assembly, wires, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be recommended by the manufacturer. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words "double insulation" or "double insulated". The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by qualified service personnel can cause the double insulation construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury.

ATTACHING EDGE GUIDE AND SHIELD
WARNING: The shield must be properly installed. The shield provides partial protection from the risk of thrown objects to the operator and others. Your unit is equipped with a line limiter blade, which cuts excess line to the proper length while running. The line limiter blade (on underside of shield) is sharp and can cut you.
NOTE: If shield is not properly installed, damage to unit (including motor failure) will result.
- Insert edge guide into two holes in shield.
NOTE: Edge guide must be positioned on shield prior to installation on motor housing (see following illustration).
- Insert the shield onto the motor housing. Ensure the cutting head remains free to rotate and the line is not caught between the shield and the motor housing (see following illustration).
- Twist the shield as illustrated until the hole in the shield aligns with the hole in the housings. Make sure the shield is assembled to the unit as shown in the following illustration and in the KNOW YOUR UNIT section of this manual.

Trimming
Edging
WARNING: Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.
When operating unit, stand as shown and check for the following:
- Wear eye protection and heavy clothing.
- Hold trigger handle with right hand and assist handle with left hand.
- Keep unit below waist level.
- Cut only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.
The height of the trimmer can be adjusted to achieve the most comfortable operating position.
- Push the Twist 'N Edge Button.
- Adjust the trimmer to the desired height by moving the motor housing up or down the tube (four height positions available).
- Release the button. The tube will lock in position.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When the trimmer is initially started, a small length of cutting line is fed out.
After approximately 5 seconds, the line will be cut to the correct length by the line limiter as the motor reaches full speed.
Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trimming.
If the noise of the cutting line being cut cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out.
To feed more line:
- Allow the motor to stop completely; then, restart the motor and allow it to reach full speed.
- Repeat until you hear the line hitting against the line limiter (do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times).
If problems are experienced with the automatic line feed, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE.
To manually feed the nylon line:
- If required, the cutting line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual line feed button while gently pulling on the line until the line reaches the line limiter.
- If the line extends past the line limiter, too much line has been fed out. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap and click spool counterclockwise until the line is at the desired length.
WARNING: Use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter round line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury. See page 2 for warning concerning other cutting devices.
TRIMMING
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force trimmer line into work area.

3 inches (8 cm) above ground
EDGING POSITION
While holding the trimmer in operating position, you can press this button and twist the lower portion 180^ counterclockwise for edging.
EDGING
While edging allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line. The edge guard helps protect the unit and keeps the unit from contacting the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.
SCALPING
The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique increases line wear.
Scalping
MOWING
Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the tool.
Mowing
SWEEPING
The fanning action of the rotating line can be used for a quick and easy clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above the surfaces being swept and move the tool from side to side.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect power source before performing maintenance.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
