OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 9.
Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:
 Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.
 Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
 Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
 Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the boom housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
 Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
 Remove the grass.
