3.	Cut the grass by swinging the trimmer from right to
	left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined
	forwards at an angle of about 30°. Light cuts are better
	than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away
	from the spool preventing the grass from clogging the
	spool.
4.	Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work
	away from it to make it easier to avoid the extension
	cord.
5.	High grass should be cut in layers always beginning
	from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not
	overload your trimmer.
