assist handle is most applicable before use, adjust the
length of grass trimmer by pressing the shaft adjust-
ment button, adjust the height of assist handle by
loosening the adjustment knob.
4. Take a secure hold of the grass trimmer and, without
letting it touch the grass to be cut, push up the safety
switch, then press the trigger on the upper handgrip.
Let the string trimmer run for a few seconds and
“bump” the stringhead against the lawn. Nylon line will
automatically release. The cut-off knife in the debris
shield will trim off excess line.
5. To switch off the string trimmer let go of the switch.
NOTE: A short or worn trimmer line cuts less efficiently so,
to improve its operation on subsequent occasions, bump
the spool button lightly on the ground while the trimmer is
running.(Fig 3-6B)
These operations should be repeated a few times before
starting work to make sure that everything is functioning
properly and to familiarize yourself with the string trimmer.
Start off slowly, when you have gained experience, you will
be able to use the grass trimmer to its full potential.
