S Cut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up to 1 cm in diameter with the weed blade. Do not let the blade contact material it cannot cut such as stumps, rocks, fences, metal, etc.

NOTE: Do not clean filter in petrol or other flammable solvent to avoid creating a fire hazard or producing harmful evaporative emissions. 3. Wash the filter in soap and water. 4.
