Grass trimming with a trimmer head
To trim the grass
1. Hold the trimmer head immediately above the
ground at an angle. Do not push the trimmer line into
the grass.
2. Decrease the length of the trimmer line by 10-12
cm / 4-4.75 in.
3. Decrease the engine speed to decrease the risk of
damage to plants.
4. Use 80 % throttle when you cut grass near objects.
To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Keep your feet apart during operation of the product.
Make sure feet are tightly against the ground.
2. Put the support cup lightly on the ground. This
prevents the blade from touching the ground.
3. Use a sideway movement from right to left for a clear
stroke. Use the left side of the blade (between 8 and
12 o'clock) to cut.
4. Angle the blade to the left when you clear grass.
Note: The grass collects easily in a line.
5. Use a sideway movement from left to right for the
return stroke.
6. Do the work rhythmically.
7. Move forward and keep feet tightly against the
ground.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Remove the product from the clip on the harness.
10. Put the product on the ground.
11. Collect the cut material.
To cut the grass
1. Make sure that the trimmer line is parallel to the
ground when you cut the grass.
2. Do not push the trimmer head to the ground. This
can cause damage to the product.
3. Move the product from side to side when you cut
grass. Use full speed.
To sweep the grass
The airflow from the rotating trimmer line can be used to
remove cut grass from an area.
1. Hold the trimmer head and the trimmer line parallel
to the ground and above the ground.
2. Apply full throttle.
3. Move the trimmer head from side to side and sweep
the grass.
WARNING: Clean the trimmer head cover
each time you assemble new trimmer line to
prevent unbalance and vibrations in the
handles. Also do a check of the other parts
of the trimmer head and clean it if
necessary.
