Maintenance - Daewoo DAT450 User Manual

TRIMMING
1. Make sure that the work area is free of rock, debris, lines and other foreign objects.
2. Start the tool before approaching the grass to be cut.
3. If you need to release the line, please"bump"the spool button of the trimmer on the ground to
feed outwore line. If too much line is fed out and it projects beyond the guard edge it is cut by
the line cutting blade.
4. Cut the grass by swinging the tool from right to left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer
inclined forwards at an angle of about 30.Light cuts are better than heavy cuts as they allow the
cut grass to fall away from the spool preventing the grass from clogging the spool.
5. Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work away from it to make it easier to avoid
the cable.
6. High grass should be cut in layers always beginning from the top. Do not cut damp or wet
grass. Do not overload your tool.
7. Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against hard objects (stones, walls, fences
etc).
8. Watch out for kickbacks in the events of impact with hard objects.
9. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground level, release the switch
and follow the motor to come to a complete stand still. Place the trimmer on the ground, switch
off and remove the cable plug from the mains supply
NOTE. Periodically clean out the grass between the spool and the rim of the guard to prevent
the tool from vibrating.
