12.  OPERATING THE GRASS TRIMMER

12.1 USING THE GRASS TRIMMER (FIG.14)

 Warning!

 Use of this product can pose a    

 

danger to wildlife. Before attempting to    

 

use this machine, check the area, 

particularly long grass and under bushes for signs of 
life: if necessary, relocate. 

Note:

 Not all animals will be deterred by the noise 

of the product alone. The nylon line is intended for 
clearing grass, weeds and similar soft vegetation. 
The nylon line is a consumable item, avoiding 
contact with trees, stones, walls, fences and other 
hard surfaces will help prolong the life of it.
–  Begin cutting at full throttle, hovering the spool 

assembly just off the ground while making arc 
shaped sweeping actions through the vegetation. 
The nylon line must be keep level with the 
ground to avoid scalping the ground surface.

When the nylon line is running at speed take care 
to avoid plastic items such as garden furniture, 
flower pots and other equally fragile materials to 
avoid damage.
While cutting vegetation it is possible to tell when 
the line length is deteriorating; the cutting distance 
from the spool head will decrease. Before the line 
disappears inside the spool housing strike the 
cutting head 

 [while it is running at speed] on 

to a piece of suitable ground. This will release a set 
amount of line from the head which will be drawn 
out by the rotating [centrifugal] force. Any excess 
line is automatically trimmed as it strikes the 
trimming blade on the underneath of the guard 

.

If the line is left or a breakage causes it to disappear 
inside the spool housing the sound made by the 
spool head spinning changes.
