Trimming
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
Hold the trimmer + edger with your right hand on the rear
handle while the right arm slightly bent, and your left hand
on the front auxiliary handle with the left arm straight. The
trimmer + edger should be held at a comfortable position
with the rear handle about hip height. The trimmer head
should be parallel with the ground and easily contacts the
material to be cut without the operator having to bend over
(Fig. 16).

• For the best cutting action against walls, fences, and in
high grass, move the trimmer + edger slowly so grass is cut
with the tip of the high speed nylon line. Do not force the
trimmer. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting
efficiency and may overload the motor.
• Avoid dragging the trimmer + edger and string spool hub in
contact with the ground.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• Cut tall grass from top down. This will prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which
may cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
–
Stop the trimmer.
–
Remove the battery.
–
Remove the grass.

WARNING!
Always hold the trimmer away from body.
Any contact with the trimmer + edger cutting head while
operating can result in serious personal injury.
• The life of your nylon line is dependent upon following
instructions for proper use, as well as what is being cut,
and where the cutting is being done.
m
WARNING!
Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, and
other objects from the cutting area. The cutting line continues
to rotate for a few seconds after switching off the trimmer. Let
the motor come to a complete stop before resuming operation.
Do not rapidly switch the trimmer off and on.
m
CAUTION!
Always wear eye protection.
1. The correct angle for the cutting attachment is parallel to
the ground.
2. Slowly swing the trimmer from side to side (Fig. 17).
