OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 10.
 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 boom housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
 Remove the battery pack or disconnect from power
supply.
 Remove the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the string
trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 11.
 Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
 The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right
to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 11.
 Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
