PROPER OPERATING
POSITION
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 9.
Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
Remove the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body
keeping clearance between the body and the string
trimmer. Any contact with the string trimmer cutting head
while operating can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 10.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left
to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 10.
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
