3.  Cut the grass by swinging the trimmer from right to 

left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined 

forwards at an angle of about 30°. Light cuts are better 

than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away 

from the spool preventing the grass from clogging the 

spool.

4.  Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work 

away from it to make it easier to avoid the extension 

cord.

5.  High grass should be cut in layers always beginning 

from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not 

overload your trimmer.

6.  Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against 

hard objects (stones, walls, fences etc.). 

7.  Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with 

hard objects.

8.  After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head 

close to ground level, release the switch and allow 

the motor to come to a complete standstill. Place the 

trimmer on the ground, switch off and remove the cable 

plug from the mains supply.

Note.

 Periodically clean out the grass between the spool 

and the rim of the guard to prevent the tool 

from vibrating.
