arc parallel to the ground.
► Move forward slowly, keeping two hands on the trimmer at
all times.
When trimming, a bump guard (1) limits the cutting range of
the mowing line and helps prevent unwanted damage to
vegetation in certain circumstances. Always remove the
activation key before mounting or adjusting the bump guard.
If the trimmer is used or stored at ambient temperatures
above 86 °F (30 °C), its runtime and performance may be
reduced.
Runtime and cutting performance depend on a number of
factors, including ambient temperatures, the type of grass
being cut, the age and condition of the integrated battery
and the type of cutting attachment being used.
