in a
secure position with your weight evenly
balanced
on
both feet.
Guide
the
tool along
the
edge

telescopic
handle. Attach wheels
and
telescopic handle
to the
tool
with grass shear blade
for
edging mode,
Guide
the
tool along

Tips:
• Do not
force
the
unit through dense growth,
and if the
blades slow down, reduce your speed.
•
Avoid
trimming
too
close
to
dirt,
sand
or
gravel,
as
this
could
dull
the
blades
and
reduce
the
cutting efficiency.
• Do not
allow
the
blade
to
contact paved surfaces, stones
or
garden walls,
as
this
will rapidly
wear
down
the
blade.
