HOLDING THE UNIT
When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate
the whole unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle
to the ground (Fig. 6).
Maintaining the Trimming Line
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the
trimming line to wear down quickly or break.
• Frequently check the trimming line length. Replace
the trimming line as needed. Refer to Replacing the
Trimming Line.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many
passes as are necessary to achieve the desired
depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
• Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body.
• Cut all grass from top to down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string
head which could cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE PRODUCT, remove the battery pack, and
remove the grass.
• Use the tip of line to trim grass; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
• Avoid trees, owers, stones, walls and other objects
which can cause the line to break.
• Check and feed the line regularly to maintain full
cutting width and performance.
