Product Manual

CLEANING THE STRING TRIMMER

Keep all safety devices, air vents, and motor housing free of debris and dirt. Wipe down the equipment with a cloth

and/or compressed air. It is highly suggested that you clean the device after every use. Do not use cleaning agents,

as these can attack the plastic and weaken the structural integrity of the string trimmer. Remove deposits from the

guard hood with a brush.

REPLACING THE SPOOL

The WEN String Trimmer and Edger accepts prewound replacement spools. To install the spool:

1. Press the buttons on either side of the string trimmer’s string casing (the buttons have a “>>>” symbol on them)

to remove the lid of the casing (Fig. A - 2).

2. Remove the used up string trimmer spool. Place the string trimmer spool onto the internal spindle. The base

of the spool has grooves that lock into place with the triangular notches found at the bottom of the string trimmer

casing. Make sure the racheting side of the spool faces towards the inside of the head. The smoother side should

be facing out and towards the ground.

3. Fish the string through the holes on either side of the spool casing. Each hole should have one string coming out

of it (Fig. B).

4. Replace the cover of the string casing. Make sure the lid snaps into place.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

Always remove the battery pack and replace the blade cover before storing or transporting the string trimmer. Avoid

the sharp teeth of the blade when doing so. It is highly recommended to clean the string trimmer before storing it.

Store in a place where the trimmer cannot be easily accessed by children or untrustworthy foes.

USING THE EDGE GUIDE

If you are working close to any shrubbery or surfaces that you do not intend to cut, it is best to use the metal edge

guide to prevent the string from accidental trimmings. To engage the guide, flip it down to its lowest point. Anything

on the outside of the metal edge guide will not be within the reach of the string. To disengage the guide, flip it back

up.

CUTTING TIPS

Keep the trimmer tilted towards the intended cutting area. Make sure to use the tip of the trimmer’s string to do the

cutting. Do not force the entire string head into heavy and thick grass. When string trimming, move the unit from

left to right to help prevent debris from flying back at you.

Wire fences, picket fences, and walls of any kind increase the damage to the string and the motors. It is suggested

to engage the edge guide whenever possible when cutting near these types of hard surfaces.
