and trimming around trees, fence posts,
etc. – less risk of damaging tree bark.
The mowing head comes with an
instruction leaflet. Refill the mowing
head with nylon line as described in the
instruction leaflet.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never use wire or metal-reinforced line in
place of the nylon line.
