4.3 Using the Grass Trimmer Attachment

The grass trimmer attachment is ideal for precise trimming of lawn edges and small grass areas.

• For best results, use the grass trimmer with the telescopic handle and wheels for even cutting.
• Move the trimmer steadily along the edges or over the grass area.
• Do not attempt to cut wet grass, as this can clog the blades and reduce efficiency.
