OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 9.
Follow these tips when using the line trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent
grass from wrapping around the boom housing and
line head which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the cutting head:
Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
Remove the grass
WARNING
Always hold the line trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the line
trimmer. Any contact with the line trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 10.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
The line trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left
to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure
10.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force
cutting head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear cutting line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
line.
ADVANCING LINE
NOTE:
The trimmer is equipped with an auto-feed head.
Bumping the head to try to advance the line will damage
the trimmer and void the warranty.
