Trimmer Tips

Before each use

• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed.Tighten the guard screw.

• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charger is disconnected before using or storing the trimmer.

• Do not store the grass trimmer in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace. The battery life will be 

shortened.

• If the battery must be stored in a warm place, charge it frequently.

• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become entangled in the 

cutting line and thrown.

During use

• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry. 

• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting. 

• Hold the grass trimmer by both the switch handle and the auxiliary handle for best control and balance. 

• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer in a semicircular 

motion around you.

• If possible, guide the grass trimmer to the left to cut.The line will cut as soon as it leaves the guard, and the 

clippings are thrown away from you.

• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the grass trimmer in and out of the area being cut with consistent 

speed and height.

• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences. Trimming with the side of 

the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more often.

• Do not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool wear and battery drain.

• If the grass is higher than 6” (15 cm), trim in small stages.

• When the grass trimmer is turned off and the spool stops rotating, the cutting line will relax and may recede. Feed 

extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing the line completely into the spool.

• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to be advanced more often.

• If the grass trimmer is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly. Remove and rewind the 

line spool.
