• Use a sharp blade. The risk of blade thrust increases
when a blade is not sharp.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
To trim the grass
1. Hold the trimmer head immediately above the
ground at an angle. Do not push the trimmer line into
the grass.
2. Decrease the length of the trimmer line by 10-12
cm / 4-4.75 in.
3. Decrease the engine speed to decrease the risk of
damage to plants.
4. Use 80 % throttle when you cut grass near objects.
To sweep the grass
The airflow from the rotating trimmer line can be used to
remove cut grass from an area.
1. Hold the trimmer head and the trimmer line parallel
to the ground and above the ground.
2. Apply full throttle.
3. Move the trimmer head from side to side and sweep
the grass.
WARNING: Clean the trimmer head cover
each time you assemble new trimmer line to
prevent unbalance and vibrations in the
handles. Also do a check of the other parts
of the trimmer head and clean it if
necessary.
