User Tips
- For best results, trim grass when it is dry. Wet grass can clog the trimmer and reduce efficiency.
- Start trimming at a higher setting and gradually lower it if needed, especially in areas with uneven terrain.
- Regularly check the nylon line for wear and replace it before it becomes too short, as this can affect cutting performance.
- When trimming near delicate plants or objects, use a slower, more controlled motion to avoid accidental damage.
