• Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.

• Keep a rm 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.

WARNING! Contact with the trimmer cutting head while operating can result in serious personal injury. Advancing line While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line gets worn down and becomes shorter. This trimmer is equipped with bump feed line advancement, which advances additional line once the head is bumped on the ground while rotating. The cutting blade will cut the line to keep an accurate cutting swath. Bump knob Cutting tips

• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.

• The trimmer will cut better when moved from left to right across the area to be cut; it is less effective when moved from right to left.

• Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not force cutting head into uncut grass.

• Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear cutting line rapidly.

• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the cutting line. Line cut-off blade This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep line long enough to advance properly. Cut-off blade12 - English MAINTENANCE General maintenance
