. Also,

use the trimmer line we recommend, see the

assembly in the back of the Manual.

• Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is

intact.

• Make sure that the trimmer line is wound tightly and

evenly around the drum to prevent dangerous

vibrations from the product. Different cord lengths

can result in unnecessary vibrations.Tap the trimmer

head to get correct length on the cord.

To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water

for a couple of days before it is assembled. This will

make the cord tougher.
