- do not cut damp or wet grass
- prevent the cut grass from clogging the spool (do not
make heavy cuts)
- carefully cut around trees and bushes, so that they do
not come into contact with the cutting lines
- keep the tool away from solid objects in order to protect
the cutting lines against excessive wear
- for cutting long grass slowly swing the tool from right to
left and vice versa
- for cutting shorter grass tilt the tool as illustrated
