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.

Pruning with 3-tooth blade. Used for coarser weeds, such as thistles and nettles.

Replacement the trimmer cord

Follow the procedure as shown in Fig.14

1. Press on each side of the line compartment. The lid may now be removed.
2. Dismount the roll simply by pulling it. Leave the spring on the spool. Remove any bits of line.
3. Take 3-4 meters of new line and place it double in a loop.
4. Fit the loop in the middle of the spool and wind the nylon lines around the spool in each groove without twisting the line. Follow the direction of the arrows from bottom of the spool. Do not overfill the spool!
5. Mount the line compartment in reverse order. First, fit the spring into its position. Then place the line in the two metal mortises of the line compartment.
6. Mount the lid. Ensure that it is fitted securely. Cut of excess nylon line.
