10.TRIMMING
1. Make sure that the work area is free of
rock, debris, lines and other foreign objects.
2. Start the tool before approaching the
grass to be cut.
3. If you need to release the line,
please“bump”the spool button of the trim-
mer on the ground to feed outwore line.
If too much line is fed out and it projects
beyond the guard edge it is cut by the line
cutting blade.
4. Cut the grass by swinging the tool from
right to left and proceed slowly keeping the
trimmer inclined forwards at an angle of
about 30.Light cuts are better than heavy
cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away
from the spool preventing the grass from
clogging the spool.
5. Start cutting nearest the mains power
source and work away from it to make it
easier to avoid the cable.
6. High grass should be cut in layers always
beginning from the top. Do not cut damp or
wet grass. Do not overload your tool.
7. Avoid wearing the line out quickly by
knocking against hard objects (stones,
walls, fences etc).
8. Watch out for kickbacks in the events of
impact with hard objects.
9. After finishing the cutting operation, keep
the head close to ground level, release the
switch and follow the motor to come to a
complete stand still. Place the trimmer on
the ground, switch off and remove the cable
plug from the mains supply
NOTE.
Periodically clean out the grass
between the spool and the rim of the guard
to prevent the tool from vibrating.
