OPERATION
Trimmer Tips
Before each use
• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed. Tighten the guard screw.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charger is disconnected before using or
storing the trimmer.
• Do not store the grass trimmer/edger in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a
furnace. The battery life will be shortened.
• If the battery must be stored in a warm place, charge it frequently.
• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become
entangled in the cutting line and thrown.
During use
• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting.
• Hold the grass trimmer/edger by both the switch handle and the auxiliary handle for best control
and balance.
• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer/edger in
a semicircular motion around you.
• If possible, guide the grass trimmer/edger to the left to cut.The line will cut as soon as it leaves
the guard, and the clippings are thrown away from you.
• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the grass trimmer/edger in and out of the area
being cut
with consistent speed and height.
• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences.
Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster, and
break the line more often.
• Do not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool wear and
battery drain.
• If the grass is higher than 6" (15 cm), trim in small stages.
• When the grass trimmer/edger is turned off and the spool stops rotating, the cutting line will
relax and may recede. Feed extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing the line
completely into the spool.
• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to be advanced
more often.
• If the grass trimmer/edger is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly.
Remove and rewind the line spool.
