CUTTING TIPS
Only cut with the left (shown here as light grey) area of the cutting unit
when the unit is being moved from right to left.
In the right (dark grey) area, the threads rotate in your direction. This
represents a high level of kickback risk and objects may be thrown in your
direction by the rotation of the thread. You may be hurt as a result.
When the unit is moved from left to right, ensure that the thread is kept
away from the grass to ensure that the grass is not thrown up.
Cut long grasses from top to bottom to ensure that the grasses do not get
tangled around the spool.
Only use the tip of the thread. This way you use less thread and avoid grass
getting caught up in the spool.
Only take the thread as close as absolutely necessary to posts, walls,
fences etc. Solid objects will wear the thread.
Tree trunks, young trees and bushes may be damaged by the thread.
