well fitting gloves. Do not wear
short pants, sandals or go barefoot.
Hold the string trimmer as shown. See Figure 6.
Right arm is slightly bent, the right hand holding the
rear handle. Left arm is straight, the left hand
holding the front handle. The unit should be slightly
below waist level.
The string head on your string trimmer should be
parallel to the ground and should easily contact the

accommodates most user's heights.
USING THE STRING TRIMMER
ADVANCING LINE
While operating the trimmer the line will be fed
automatically
when it breaks.
If the line breaks off completely, the automatic feed
may not be able to function correctly.
OPERATING TIPS
CAUTION
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become
entangled in the string head.
Keep the string trimmer tilted toward the area
being cut. Avoid digging into grass.
Slowly move the string trimmer in and out of the
area being cut.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting - do not
force string head into uncut grass.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent
grass from wrapping around the string head that
may cause damage from overheating. If grass or
other debris becomes wrapped around the string
head, STOP THE MOTOR by releasing the trigger
and allow the string head to stop spinning. Remove
the battery pack and then remove the grass or
debris.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and
wood may wear line rapidly. Walk around trees and
shrubs.
Tree bark, wood mouldings, siding, and fence posts
can easily be damaged by the line.
Keep the string trimmer tilted toward the area
being cut. To trim around trees, posts, fences, etc.,
keep the string trimmer at a 30° degree angle.
