the shaft rotated to the 0° position (see Trimmer Head Angle instructions above).
■ Hold the grass trimmer rmly and ensure you keep your balance with your feet apart.
■ Move the trimmer slowly from side to side in a swinging motion. Ensure the cutting device
remains clean and free from off-cuts that may cause it to jam. Check regularly (Fig. 17).

against the ground as this can cause damage to the lawn and product (Fig. 18).
NOTE!
■ When cutting longer or higher grass, make sure that you cut this down in 2 or 3 stages. Do not
