3. Cut the grass by swinging the trimmer from right to
left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined
forwards at an angle of about 30°. Light cuts are better
than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away
from the spool preventing the grass from clogging the
spool.
4. Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work
away from it to make it easier to avoid the extension
cord.
5. High grass should be cut in layers always beginning
from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not
overload your trimmer.
6. Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against
hard objects (stones, walls, fences etc.).
7. Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with
hard objects.
8. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head
close to ground level, release the switch and allow
the motor to come to a complete standstill. Place the
trimmer on the ground, switch off and remove the cable
plug from the mains supply.
Note. Periodically clean out the grass between the spool
and the rim of the guard to prevent the tool
from vibrating.

ground.
