OPERATION

Cutting the grass
Hold the grass trimmer at the angle of about 50° to the
ground. Move the grass trimmer from right to left slowly.
Cut the grass a few times from the top of the grass at
the tip of the nylon cord or with the blade.
NOTICE:
Do not cut high grass at a time. Cutting
the high grass at a time near the root may cause the
nylon cutting head or plastic blade to be entangled by
grass. This may cause the motor overload, resulting
in damage to the grass trimmer.
NOTICE:
Use the grass trimmer without getting
the spool or plastic blade into a contact with the
ground surface. Using the spool or plastic blade
contacting the ground surface may cause the motor
under overload resulting in damage to the grass
trimmer.
NOTICE:
Do not force the trimmer in densely
growing grass.
NOTICE:
Do not use the trimmer as if you dig out
the ground.
Cutting the grass near tree, block,
brick, or stone
Hold and tilt the grass trimmer at a height where the spool
or blade does not touch the ground. Cut the grass using
the nylon cord tip or plastic blade like knocking the ground.
NOTICE:
When cutting the grass, move the grass
trimmer around the tree or blocks so that the nylon
cord or blade does not touch the tree or blocks. It is
recommended to keep the tool more than 5 cm (1/4") away
from the tree or block. If the nylon cord or blade touch the
tree or block, the nylon cord may be torn or the blade may
wear out rapidly. If the nylon cord is torn in the spool, set the
nylon cord again referring to the replacement procedure in
this manual.
