OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Trimmer tips
Before each use:
• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed. If not, tighten the guard screws.
• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become
entangled in the cutting line and thrown.
Storage tips:
• Do not store the grass trimmer in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace.
• The battery life will be shortened.
During use:
• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you
have adequate lighting.
• Hold the grass trimmer by both the switch handle
and the auxiliary handle for best control and
balance.
• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an
angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer in a
semicircular motion around you.
• If possible, guide the grass trimmer to the left
to cut. The line will cut as soon as it leaves the
guard, and the clippings are thrown away from
you.
• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move
the grass trimmer out of the area being cut with
consistent speed and height.
• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences. Trimming with
the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more
often.
• Do not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool wear and battery
drain.
• If the grass is higher than 6 in. (15 cm), trim in small stages.
• When the grass trimmer is turned off and the spool stops rotating, the cutting line will relax and may
recede. Feed extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing the line completely into the
spool.
• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to be advanced more
often.
• If the grass trimmer is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly.
• Remove and rewind the line spool.
