OPERATING THE TRIMMER
WARNING: Make sure that the work area is free of rocks, debris, lines and other foreign objects.
1. Lower the protector to prevent the motor housing from getting too close to an object such as a tree trunk or
wall and causing damage to the trimming spool.
2. Start the trimmer before approaching the grass to be cut.
3. Cut the grass by moving the trimmer from right to left and proceed slowly keep the trimmer inclined
forwards at an angle of about 30º light cuts are better than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away
from the motor housing.
4. High grass should be cut in layers always beginning from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not
overload your trimmer.
5. Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with hard objects.
6. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground level, release the switch and allow
the motor to come to complete standstill. Place the trimmer on the ground and remove the battery pack
from the trimmer.
Note: Periodically clean out the grass between the spool and the rim of the guard to prevent the tool from
vibrating.
FITTING AND REPLACING LINE SPOOL ASSEMBLY
A spool of mono-filament cutting line is preinstalled on the grass trimmer. When the cutting line needs
