while the right arm slightly bent, and your left hand on the
front auxiliary handle with the left arm straight. The grass
trimmer 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. 13).
• For the best cutting action against walls, fences, and in
high grass, move the grass trimmer 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
eciency and may overload the motor.
• Avoid dragging the grass trimmer 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.
mWARNING! Always hold the trimmer away from
body. Any contact with the grass trimmer 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.
mWARNING! 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 o the trimmer. Let
the motor come to a complete stop before resuming operation.
Do not rapidly switch the trimmer o and on.
mCAUTION! 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. 14).
3. Do not overload your trimmer; instead, take small “bites”
of grass, working from the top to the bottom. This will
keep the machine operating at high speed and will greatly
improve its cutting eciency (Fig. 15).
Advancing Cutting Line
NOTE: Your trimmer uses 0.080 in. (2 mm) diameter nylon
line to cut grass and weed quickly and easily. In time, the tip
of the nylon line will become worn. The trimmer head allows
the operator to release more cutting line without stopping the
motor. As line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can be
released by lightly tapping the trimmer head on the ground
while the motor is running.
NOTE: For best results, tap the trimmer head on bare ground
or hard soil. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
release becomes more dicult as the cutting line becomes
shorter.
