Tips and advices

Trimming.
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the line that does the work. Let the line work at its own pace. Never press the line into the area to be cut.

Cutting.
The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the line parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head  against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool.
Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting, as this can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head.

Maintenance

Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool.

• Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.
• Clean the housing and other parts with a soft brush and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

Storage

Store the trimmer dry and unavailable for children. It is recommended not to let it rest on the trimmer head.
Hang it on a wall in the handle.
