OPERATION
■ 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).
■ Hold the grass trimmer head at an angle of approximately 30° to the ground. Avoid pressing it
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
cut long grass in one cut (Fig. 19).
■ Do not cut wet grass, this can stick to the cutting device and guard and prevents proper
discharge of grass clippings.
■ Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
■ Regularly remove clippings and dirt from around the spool and guard. Ensure the product is
switched off and the battery removed.
■ Pay attention when performing work close to trees and bushes. The cutting device can damage
sensitive bark, and damage fence posts.
■ Do not move the product too fast as this will result in ineffective cutting and possible damage.
■ Carefully maneouvere the product around objects, such as trees and bushes, ensuring it does
not come into contact with them. Use the plant protector to ensure that the cutting device does
not come into contact with sensitive plants (Fig. 20).
■ Use the plant protector to avoid bringing the cutting device into contact with hard objects such
as walls and curbs (Fig. 21).
