Never attempt to operate the product with one hand.
Ensure that you hook your thumbs around the grips, wrapping
them in your thumb and remaining fingers.
Always mount the trimmer correctly using the shoulder har-
ness.
The shoulder harness is fitted with an emergency release
function. In case of emergency, strongly pull the emergency
tab at the hook. The machine will be released from the strap.
Operate the unit at full throttle while cutting grass.
Operation of trimmer without a cutting attachment
shield and using excessive line length can lead to pre-
mature clutch failure.
Operation at low speeds can lead to premature clutch
failure.
The basic cutting actions pictured are:
Trimming, scything, scalping and lawn edging.
These actions are as follows:
Trimming
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to
cut. Tilt the head slightly to direct the debris away from you. If cut-
ting up to a barrier such as a fence, wall or tree, approach from
an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will fly away
from you.
Move the nylon line cutting head slowly until the grass is cut right
up to the barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into the barri-
er. If trimming up wire mesh or chain link fencing, be careful to
feed only up to the wire. If you go too far, the line will snap off
around the wire.
