Operating Tips

•
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
•
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right.
This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head
into uncut grass.
