bEFORE EACh USE

• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed. Tighten the guard screws.
• before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches, or other material that may
become entangled in the cutting line or thrown.

DURING USE

• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• do not trim the grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting.
• Hold the grass trimmer by both the switch handle and the auxiliary handle for greater control
and balance.
• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer in a
semi-circular motion around you.
• If possible, guide the grass trimmer to the left to cut. The line will cut as soon as it leaves the
guard, and the clippings are thrown away from you.
• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the grass trimmer in and out of the area being
cut with a consistent speed and height.
• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences.
Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster,
and break the line more often.
• do not rest the grass trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool
wear.
• If the grass is higher than 6" (15 cm), trim in small stages.
• When the grass trimmer is stopped and the spool stops rotating, the cutting line will grow
slack and may retract. Feed extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing
the line into the spool.
• If the grass trimmer is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly.
Remove and rewind the line spool.
