OPERATION
Tips ( Fig. 19)
• Pay special attention when performing the work close to trees and fences. The cutting head could
damage sensitive bark, and damage fence posts (Fig. 19).
• Carefully maneuver the product around objects, such as trees and fences, ensuring it does not
come into contact with them.
Operation On Slopes
• Start on the low side of a slope, and work upward. This will reduce your risk of slipping and falling,
and it will give you a cutting angle that will better enable you to direct debris away from you.
• Do not let the cutting line or blade dig into the slope, because that can cause stones and dirt to
be thrown at you.
• Do not raise the cutting attachment above waist level during operation, because that would increase
the risk of thrown objects striking your face.
• Avoid steep slopes that would require holding the cutting attachment above waist level.
Avoid slippery slopes that might cause you to lose your balance.
After Use
• Switch the product off, remove the battery back and let it cool down.
• Check, clean and store the product as described below.

• To avoid grass wrapping around the blade when cutting very long grass, cut a top section first
using a side to side motion, but never above users waist. Repeat this method in several stages
until the material is has been sufficiently cut. Then cut at the bottom of the grass.
• Cutting wild growth and scrub; it is best to lower the brush blade down onto the growth to achieve
shredding effect – do not use the cutting attachment above waist height.
• Exercise extreme caution when using this method of cutting. The higher the cutting attachment is
off the ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings being thrown sideways.
• Carefully lower the blade from above when cutting long undergrowth, wild growth and scrub.
