Lawn Trimming/Edge Cutting (see figures I − K)
Lawn trimming (see figure I)
Press the foot pedal (4) and set the 48° angle for lawn trim-
ming.
Move the trimmer left and right, keeping it well away from
the body. Cut higher grass in steps.
Edge cutting (see figure J)
Press the foot pedal (4) and set the 36° angle for edge cut-
ting. Rotate the handle by 180° and then turn the trimmer
clockwise to the desired working position.
Guide the trimmer along the edge of the lawn. By using the
wheel, you avoid contact with solid surfaces or walls to pre-
vent rapid wear of the cutting line.
Cutting around trees and bushes (see figure K)
Press the foot pedal (4) and set the 24° angle for cutting
around trees and bushes.
Carefully cut around trees and bushes so that they do not
come into contact with the cutting line. Plants can die if you
damage the bark.
