OPERATING THE TRIMMER

Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and line head which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the line head:
Stop the trimmer.
Unplug the string trimmer.
Remove the grass.
