Use and Care Manual

Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting is
done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are
being cut.
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 15 inch (381 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn appliance off and remove battery before
making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
To extend runtime, push the speed control switch (C) forward toward
the auxillary handle (D) into the "LO" position. This mode is best for
larger projects that require more time to complete.
To accelerate the trimmer, pull the speed control switch back toward
the battery housing (I) into the "HI" position. This mode 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.
