[Grass trimming techniques]
Do not swing the pipe, but use the hips to move the
nylon head horizontally from right to left in an arc
while going forward and use the left side of the nylon
head for cutting grass. (Fig. 28)

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Continuous work
This gardening appliance comes with an over-heat
protection circuit that protects the electronic parts
that control the rechargeable battery. In continuous
trimming work, gardening appliance temperature
will rise and eventually trigger the over-heat
protection circuit, which will shut down the
gardening appliance.
If this happens, let the gardening appliance cool
for a length of time. When the temperature drops,
it will again become possible to use the gardening
appliance. When the rechargeable battery has to
be exchanged during continuous operation, let the
gardening appliance rest for about 15 minutes.
Overload Protection
This gardening appliance comes with an overload
protection circuit to protect the electronic parts
controlling the gardening appliance. In continuous
overload during trimming work (locking the nylon
head, etc.), the overload protection circuit shuts
down the motor. If this happens, turn OFF the
power, and then resolve the problem causing the
overload.
The power lamp blinks if the lever is pressed after
the motor has stopped (see page 15, “ABOUT
POWER LAMP”). The power automatically turns
OFF if the power lamp blinks longer than 5 seconds.
If this happens, resolve the problem causing the
overload, and then switch the power button ON to
resume using the gardening appliance.

[Auto power off]
When the power is turned on but the lever is not
used for one minute, the gardening appliance is
automatically turned off. To turn the gardening
appliance on again, press the power button a
second time.
WARNING
Never leave the gardening appliance with the
power on. This could result in an accident.
