Trimming
•
Before inserting the battery,
extend the tree/flower guide to
prevent the cutting head from
getting too close to an object
such as a tree trunk or wall.
•
Start the grass trimmer before
approaching the grass to be cut.
Note:
The best results will be
achieve by cutting dry grass.
•
Stand with the cutting head
tipped down at an 30° angle in
front, guiding the grass trimmer
in a semi-circular motion around
you.
•
When cutting long grass, cut
in stages from the top of the
grass to the bottom of the
grass.
•
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.
•
If then grass trimmer is not cutting correctly, the blade will
need to be replaced, refer to the assembly section of this
manual.
•
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 grass trimmer on the
ground, and remove the battery.
