walking forwards. Advance more slowly if the going gets heavy.
• Do not move the trimmer head towards you, always work away from yourself.
•
Caution!
Remove all objects such as cans, bottles and stones from the ground before starting to use
the grass trimmer, otherwise they can be thrown about by the trimmer line and cause injury or damage
the trimmer.
• Switch off the grass trimmer at once and check it for damage if you notice that something is ejected or
if the grass trimmer starts vibrating. Do not operate the grass trimmer if it has been damaged.
•
Note!
Allow the engine to reach full speed before starting to cut the grass, never try to cut grass/brush
at low speed.

Caution!
Never use metal or plastic coated metal trimmer line, this could cause serious accidents.
8.1 Trimming round trees and bushes
Lean the trimmer head forward slightly and start trimming from left to right whilst slowly walking around the tree.
Be careful, so the trimmer line doesn’t cut the bark of the tree or the plants that you want to keep!
If you trim grass close to fences, foundations, rocks, etc; the trimmer line will soon wear out.
8.2 Preparing the ground (removing all vegetation)
• Angle the trimmer head approx. 30 degrees to the left (it is easier if you loosen the loop handle and adjust it).
• Do not do this if there is the slightest risk of something being flung up and injuring people or animals
standing within a 30-metre radius.
