TRIMMER TIPS
Before each use
• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed. Tighten the guard screw.
• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches, or other material that
may become entangled in the cutting line or thrown.
During use
• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.
• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting.
• Hold the Electric Grass Trimmer by both the switch handle and the auxiliary hand
for best control and balance.
• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the Electric
Grass Trimmer in a semi-circular motion around you.
• If possible, guide the trimmer to the left to cut. The line will cut as soon as it leaves
the guard, and the clippings are thrown away from you.
• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the Electric Grass Trimmer in and out
of the area being cut with a consistent speed and height.
• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and
fences. Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out
the line faster, and break the line more often.
• Do not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool
wear.
• If the grass is higher than 6" (15 cm), trim in small stages.
• When the trimmer is stopped and the spool stops rotating, the cutting line will relax
and may recede. Feed extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing
the line into the spool.
• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to
be advanced more often.
• If the Electric Grass Trimmer is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be
feeding properly. Remove and rewind the line spool.
