Hints for optimum use (Figs. G–J)
Trimming Grass
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
•
In order to achieve optimum cutting results, only cut
dry grass.
•
Hold the tool as shown in fig. G & H. Keep your
other hand well away from the blade. Maintain a
stable working position so that you do not slip. Do
not overreach.
•
When cutting long grass, work in stages from the top.
Take small cuts.
•
Keep the tool away from hard objects and
delicate plants.
•
If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
•
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.
•
Spray the blade with a light coating of general purpose
oil before first use and whenever the blades begin to
look dry.

Trimming Hedges
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
•
Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut)
so that the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge
(Fig. I). This will cause the blades to cut more effectively.
