CORRECTING GRASS BIND TO AVOID
ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF THE
TRIMMER HEAD.
Certain types and lengths of grass can
sometimes be caught between the
trimmer head and the spindle When this
happens, the grass quickly winds around
the shaft clogging the space between the
shaft and the trimmer head and slowing
or stopping the trimmer head rotation
This condition is called grass bind The
trimmer/edger is equipped with a grass
wrap protector shroud between the
trimmer head and the spindle to help
minimize grass bind, but the condition
can still occasionally occur
To correct grass bind:
• Remove the battery
• Remove the trimmer head
• Clean all grass or weeds from the
spindle If necessary, cut the grass or
weeds free
• Once the spindle is cleared, replace the
trimmer head
