Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle
so that the underside of the line spool is above the
ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always
cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer to-
wards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations
Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural
stone walls and foundations slowly so that you can
cut close to them without striking the obstacle with
the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone
walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line
strikes wire fencing, it will break.
Trimming around trees
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly
so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around
the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or
weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool
forwards slightly.

When doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters
between yourself and other people or animals.
