Trimming Operating Tips • 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 you. • 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.
Maintenance After each use of the trimmer, complete the following: 1. Remove the battery from the trimmer. 2. Wipe the trimmer clean with a damp cloth. Do not hose the trimmer down or submerge it in water. CAUTION The line cut-off blade on the deflector is sharp and can cut you. Do not use your hands to clean the deflector shield and blade. 3. Wipe or scrape clean the cutting head area any time there is an accumulation of debris. 4. Check and tighten all fasteners.
