Instructions and Safety Warnings.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS  
This tool is double-insulated. Use only identical  
replacement parts when servicing. Repair or  
replace damaged cords.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical  
shock, use only extension cords approved for  
outdoor use, such as an extension cord of  
cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,  
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A. A 2-  
wire extension cord (an extension cord without  
a ground) may be used because the tool is  
double insulated. However, a 3-wire extension  
cord (an extension cord with a ground) that  
uses a NEMA type connector (parallel blade,  
U ground) may also be used. Extension cords  
are available from your local retailer. Use only  
round-jacketed extension cords approved for  
outdoor use.  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
protection should be provided on the  
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this unit.  
Receptacles are available having built-in  
GFCI protection and may be used for this  
measure of safety.

CORD SETS: Make sure your cord set is in  
Thoroughly inspect the trimmer for loose or  
damaged parts before each use. Do not use  
until adjustments or repairs are made.  
good condition. When using a cord set, be  
sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to  
carry the current that your unit will draw. An  
undersized cord set will cause a drop in line  
voltage resulting in loss of power and  
overheating. The table shows the correct size  
to use depending on the cord length and  
nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use  
the next heavier size line gauge. The smaller  
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. To  
reduce the possibility of disconnection of the  
unit cord from the cord set during operation,  
see Fig. 9.  
All guards and safety attachments must be  
installed properly before operating the unit.  
Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial  
light.  
Keep all bystanders, especially children and  
pets, at least 30 feet (9.2 m) away from the  
unit during operation.  
Before starting, adjust the handle to your size  
and make sure that the cutting head is not in  
contact with anything.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
ADJUSTING THE TRIMMING LINE LENGTH  
WARNING: Do not remove or alter  
the lead cutting blade assembly.  
Excessive line length will cause the  
motor to overheat and may result in  
serious personal injury.  
Your trimmer is equipped with a bump head,  
which allows the operator to release more  
trimming line without stopping the motor. As the  
line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can  
be released by lightly tapping the trimming head  
on the ground (Fig. 15a - Models 105r and 132r;  
Fig. 15b - Model 137r) while operating the  
trimmer at high speed.  
DECORATIVE TRIMMING  
Decorative trimming is accomplished by  
removing all vegetation around trees, posts,  
fences, etc. Use a 30-degree angle when  
trimming with this method (Fig. 16a - Models  
105r and 132r; Fig. 16b - Model 137r).  
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully  
extended. Line release becomes more  
difficult as cutting line becomes shorter.  
Fig. 15a  
Fig. 16a  
Fig. 15b  
Each time the head is bumped, approximately  
1 in (25.4 mm) of trimming line is released. A  
blade in the string guard will cut the line if  
excess line is released.  
Fig. 16b  
EDGING - MODELS 132r AND 137r  
For best results, tap the head on bare ground or  
hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass,  
the motor may overheat. Always keep the  
trimming line fully extended. Line release  
becomes more difficult as the cutting line  
becomes shorter.  
For edging with the trimming head attachment  
on Models 132r and 137r, locate and lock the  
release button into the second hole (90 degrees)  
or third hole (180 degrees) in the Click-Link  
system (Fig. 14).
