CUTTING TIPS
n
Inspect and clear the area to be trimmed for any rocks,
broken glass or wire that could be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting line. Trim only when grass or
weeds are dry . Keep the cutting line parallel to the ground.
n
Cut grass or weeds over 20cm tall from the top to the
bottom in small amounts. This will prevent grass becoming
wrapped around the trimmer head assembly, which may
result in damage due to overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the trimmer head assembly, stop the
trimmer, unplug it and remove the grass.
n
Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you are
cutting, keeping the trimmer at the desired cutting height.
n
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force the
trimmer head assembly into uncut grass.
n
Feed out some line as required during use to prevent the
line from retracting into the cutting head.
