SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Clearing
•The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. NOTE! This technique increases the wear on the cord.
•The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal fences, etc. than when coming into contact with trees and wooden fences.
•When trimming and clearing you should use less than full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head.
Trimming
• The trimmer is ideal to cut grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool.
•Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting procedures. Constant
contact can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head.
Sweeping
•The rotating cord‘s fanning effect can be
used for quick and easy cleaning. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the trimmer from side to side.
•When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results.
