Edging
I
Best results are achieved on edges greater
than 50mm deep.
Note: Your trimmer is a maintenance tool for
trimming overhanging grass and should not
be used to create edges. Edges can be
created using an edging spade.
J
With the skid (25) on the grass edge and the
edge guide (9) hooked over the edge, pull
the unit along while keeping the edge guide
in contact with the lawn edge.
A closer cut can be achieved by angling
the trimmer.
K
If your trimmer is suitable for use with a
‘Detachable’ extension cord, loop a length of
cord through the cord restraint (3) to avoid
the plug and socket coming apart
accidentally if the cord is pulled.
How to convert between the
trimming and edging mode (Fig. 3)
In addition to conventional trimming
(Fig. D), your trimmer can be used to trim
overhanging grass along lawn edges and
flower beds (Fig. J).
3
To convert your trimmer between the
trimming and edging mode:
Unlock
• With the trimmer switched off and the
edge guide (9) resting on the ground,
place one hand on the switch handle
(20). Using your other hand, turn the
locking ring (4) anti-clockwise, as far as
it will go (approximately quarter of a turn)
(Fig. 3.1).
Convert
• While keeping hold of the switch handle,
grasp the trimmer body (1) and rotate
half a turn in the direction of the arrow
(24), until the body ‘clicks’ into position
(Fig. 3.2).
Lock
• While still holding the switch handle,
tighten the locking ring clockwise, using
the other hand. Only light finger pressure
is required to secure it (Fig. 3.3).
How to adjust the height of your
trimmer (Fig. 3)
Your trimmer has a telescopic body, thus
allowing you to alter its height to give you the
most comfortable operating position.

How to alter the position of the
secondary handle (Fig. L)

independent of your personal height
(Fig. C).
M
• To raise the handle to a more comfortable
height when in the edging mode. Tip:
Alter the cutting head angle by lowering
the handle one or two knotches, while in
the trimming mode, prior to converting to
the edging mode (Fig. M).
