the guard, switch, cordset and extension cord. Check
for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving
parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any
other condition that may affect its safe operation. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs during operation,
turn the line trimmer off immediately and have the
problem corrected.

footing.

line out so that it extends
a few centimeters past the edge of the guard.

line cutting blade (9).

the cutting line simply
switch the line trimmer off

Trimming
WARNING.
Make sure that the work area is free of rocks,
debris, lines and other foreign objects.
1. Start the trimmer before approaching the grass to
be cut.

speed. If you need the spool to release more than
12mm of line per side, release the trigger until the
speed falls beyond the trigger point then press the
switch again. As the speed picks up a further 12mm
will be released for both lines.
