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.
2. Stop the trimmer and check the line has fully extended and has been trimmed by the line cutting blade.
If the line is short restart the line trimmer.
Note: Each time the trimmer is stopped and restarted the line will release and extend by approx. 10mm.
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 30º 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. High grass should be cut in layers always beginning from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do
not overload your trimmer.
5. Avoid wearing the line out quickly by cutting against hard objects (stones, walks, fences etc.)
6. Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with hard objects.
7. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground level, release the switch and allow
the motor to come to complete standstill. Place the trimmer on the ground and remove the battery pack
from the trimmer.
Note: Periodically clean out the grass between the spool and the rim of the guard to prevent the tool from
vibrating.
