CAUTION: A short or worn wire cuts less
efficiently so, to improve its operation on
subsequent occasions, tap the spool but-
ton lightly on the ground while the trimmer
is running. This will bring about the self-
adjustment of the nylon wire. (Fig. 6)
These operations should be repeated a few times
before starting work to make sure that everything is
functioning properly and to familiarize yourself with the
grass trimmer.
Start off slowly, when you have gained experience, you
will be able to use the grass trimmer to its full potential.
CAUTION: After switching off, the nylon
wire will continue to rotate for a few more
seconds.
OPERATION
1. Start the grass trimmer before getting close to the
grass to be cut.
2. Cut the grass by moving the grass trimmer from
right to left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer
inclined by about 30˚ (Fig.7)
Fig.7
3. High grass should be cut in layers, always begin-
ning from the top. The cuts should be short (Fig. 8)
Fig.8
4. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Dry grass will give
excellent results.
5. Always let the nylon wire rotate at top speed; do
not work in such a way as to overload the trimmer.
6. Avoid wearing the wire out quickly by knocking
against hard objects (stones, walls, fences etc.).
Use the edge of the guard in order to keep the
edge-trimmer at the right distance (Fig. 9)
CAUTION: Do not use the Grass trimmer
without the guard.
7. Never pass the grass trimmer over the extension
cable while the grass trimmer is running; make
sure it is always in a safe position behind your
back.
8. Before starting work, make sure that the area to be
cut is free of stones, debris, wires and any other
objects.
