ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

4.Take a secure hold of the grass trimmer and, without letting it touch the grass to be cut, push up the safety switch, then press the trigger on the upper handgrip. Let the grass trimmer run for a few seconds and “bump” the stringhead against the lawn. Nylon line will automatically release. The cut-off blade in the debris shield will trim off excess line.

5.To switch off the string trimmer let go of the switch.

A short or worn line CAUTION: cuts less efficiently

so, to improve its operation on subsequent occasions, bump the stringhead lightly on the ground while the trimmer is running.(Fig 10)

These operations should be repeated a few times before starting work to make sure that everything is functioning properly and to familiarize yourself with the grass trimmer. Start off slowly, when you have gained experience, you will be able to use the grass trimmer to its full potential.
