Cutting

CUTTING WITH THE NYLON STRING TRIMMER HEAD

The string trimmer head rotates CLOCKWISE.

The trimmer line is extended out semi-automatically. While trimming, simply gently tap the head on the

ground, which will push down the button on the underside of the head and the string trimmer line will slide

out. The string trimmer line is then shortened to the maximum permitted length on the blade integrated in

the plastic guard.

Trimming grass

During this activity, carefully move the trimmer into the material that you wish to trim. Slowly tilt the head so

that the trimmed material is ejected away from you. If you are trimming all the way up to obstacles such as

fences, walls and trees, then approach at such an angle that all material is ejected away from you. Slowly

move the head with the nylon string trimmer line from right to left until the grass is trimmed all the way to the

obstacle but avoid the string trimmer line coming into contact with the obstacle.

When trimming in the vicinity of a wire fence or enclosure, proceed carefully so as not to come into contact

with the wires. If you exceed the minimum distance from the fence, the string trimmer line will be shortened

after impact.

When cutting weeds, it is possible to cut one stem at a time. Place the trimmer head with string trimmer line

at the bottom part of the weed - never the top because the stem may start quivering and the string trimmer

line may become caught in it. Rather than attempting to cut the weed directly, it is better to use only the end

of the string trimmer line and to cut the stem slowly.

Clearing and trimming edges

Both these tasks are performed using the head with the nylon line tilted at large angle. Clearing means

removing the top vegetation after which only soil remains.

Trimming edges means trimming the grass at the edge of lawns that extends on to footpaths and roads.

While clearing and trimming edges, hold the tool at a steep angle and in a position where dirt, cut material

and stones will not be ejected backwards towards you in the event that they ricochet from a hard surface.

Despite the pictures showing how to perform clearing and trimming of edges, every user must ﬁ nd their own

position that will suit their body dimensions and working conditions.

WARNING

If a head with a nylon line is used, the correct protective guard must be ﬁ tted. If the nylon line extends out too far,

it may start ﬂ uttering. If you use a head with a nylon line, always use the protective plastic guard with the cutter

blade.

WARNING

Be very careful when working above soil or gravel because the nylon line may deﬂ ect small stones at a very high

speed.

The protective guard on this tool cannot stop objects that ricochet off hard surfaces.

WARNING

Do not trim in places where there are wires and wire mesh. Use protective aids. Do not trim in locations where

you cannot see what the trimmer is trimming.
