Trimming
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• For the best cutting action against walls, fences, and in high
grass, move the grass trimmer slowly so grass is cut with
the tip of the high speed nylon line.
• Avoid dragging the grass trimmer and string spool hub in
contact with the ground.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
NOTE: As the weather becomes cooler, the tendency for the
nylon line to break becomes greater. DO NOT USE WHEN
TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50ºF (10ºC).
• Cut tall grass from top down. This will prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which
may cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
–
Stop the trimmer.
–
Remove the battery.
–
Remove the grass.
• Hold the grass trimmer with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front auxiliary handle. The
t edger should be held at a comfortable position
with the rear handle about hip height.

WARNING!
Always hold the trimmer away from
body. Any contact with the grass trimmer cutting head while
operating can result in serious personal injury.
• The life of your nylon line is dependent upon following
instructions for proper use, as well as what is being cut, and
where the cutting is being done.
m
WARNING!
Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, and
other objects from the cutting area. The string continues to
rotate for a few seconds after switching off the trimmer. Let the
motor come to a complete stop before resuming operation. Do
not rapidly switch the trimmer off and on.
m
CAUTION!
Always wear eye protection.
1.
Hold the trimmer at an angle of approximately 10 – 30
degrees to the work area (Fig. 1
8).
2.
Slowly swing the trimmer from side to side (Fig. 19
).
3. Do not overload your trimmer; instead, take small “bites”
of grass, working from the top to the bottom. This will
keep the machine operating at high speed and will greatly
improve its cutting efficiency (Fig.
20).
