minutes after each start to keep battery charged
To stop the trimmer:
•
Release the control bail. Engine will stop immediately.
•
Do not lift the trimmer head when trimming. Let the head rest lightly touching
the ground.
•
Keep an eye on the length of the trimmer strings. As the strings get shorter
they become less effective at cutting and will take longer to trim properly.
Replace the string as necessary. (See installing string)
•
Do not trim wet grass.
•
Use caution when trimming slopes.
•
Use the proper length of string. Using a string too long for the unit will cause
stalling and unacceptable operation.
