Operating Tips

•
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cutting area.
•
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
string rapidly.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the strings.

Maintenance

After each use of the trimmer, complete the following:
1. Remove the battery from the trimmer.
2. Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose the
trimmer down or submerge it in water.
CAUTION
The line cut-off blade on the deflector is sharp and
can cut you. Do not use your hands to clean the
deflector shield and blade.
3. Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any time there is
an accumulation of debris.
4. Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or
lost, repair or replace it.
5. Brush debris away from air intake vents on motor housing
to prevent the motor from overheating.
