• Press the trigger to start the trimmer.
• Trim grass and weeds in a right-to-left motion with the line parallel to
the ground.
CUTTING TIPS
• Inspect and clear the area to be trimmed for any rocks, broken glass,
or wire that could be thrown or become entangled in the cutting line.
• Use the cutting line for working grass.
• Only use the trimmer for working dry grass and weeds.
• Keep the cutting line parallel to the ground.
• When working long grass or bushes proceed layer for layer. Cut grass
or weeds over eight inches tall from the top to the bottom in small
amounts. This will prevent grass becoming wrapped around the trim-
mer head assembly, which may result in damage due to overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the trimmer head assembly, stop
the trimmer, unplug it and remove the grass.
• Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you are cutting, kee-
ping the trimmer at the desired cutting height.
• Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force the trimmer
heads assembly into uncut grass.
• Feed our some line after each use to prevent the line from retracting
into the cutting head.
• The tip of the cutting line will wear during use, this reduces the cutting
swath. If the line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear down to
the eyelet. When the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may
retract into the trimmer head assembly. Should this occur, unplug the
trimmer, remove the spool, reefed the line through the eyelets, and
reassemble the spool.
• Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link fences or con-
crete, as this causes rapid wear.
• Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the ground while trimmer.
