WEED AND LAWN TRIMMING
•
The unit works best with dry grass, but it can be used safely in wet grass due to
the low voltage design.
•
A long sweeping cutting motion will get the greatest amount of trimming per
charge.
•
Watch out for foreign objects in the grass. Avoid trimming near wiring or other
objects that could become tangled in the rotation of the string head.
•
Always inspect area to be trimmed for objects that could be damaged or tangled
during trimming.
•
During normal operation, the cutting line will wear down and needs to be
advanced to its full cutting length.
•
Advance (bump feed) the cutting line
– While the unit is running,
gently tap the line head against the ground until the cutting line advances to the
cut-off blade. Excess line will be cut off automatically to maintain proper length.
•
To lengthen the life of the string spool, do not bump feed by tapping the line
head on concrete or asphalt.
