Trimming
1. Before inserting the battery, extend
the edging guide to prevent the
cutting head from getting too close
to an object such as a tree trunk or
wall.
2. Hold the grass trimmer by the rear
handle and the adjustable handle
for best control and balance.
Weight should be balanced with
both feet on solid ground.
3. Start the grass trimmer before
approaching the grass to be cut.
Note:
The best results will be achieve
by cutting dry grass.
4. Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front,
guiding the line trimmer in a semi-circular motion around you.
5. When cutting long grass, cut in stages from the top of the grass to
the bottom of the grass.
6. Use only the tip of the cutting blade to do the trimming especially
near walls and fences. Trimming with the side of the cutting blade
may overload the motor, wear out the blades faster, and break the
blades more often.
Note:
If the motor starts to slow down, reduce the cutting load.
7. If then grass trimmer is not cutting correctly, the blades will need to
be replaced, refer to the maintenace section of this manual.
8. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground
level, release the trigger switch and allow the motor to come to
a complete standstill. Place the line trimmer on the ground, and
remove the battery.
Edging
Place the edging guide along
the ground and slide the grass
trimmer along the edge of the
path.
