CORRECTING GRASS BIND

CAUTION: A BATTERY OPERATED
TOOL WITH THE BATTERY PACK

START ACCIDENTALLY. ALWAYS
REMOVE THE BATTERY BEFORE
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
minimise 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
