• Wear the shoulder strap for balanced weight distribution and reduced fatigue.

• Engage the throttle to bring the line up to speed.
• Use a sweeping motion to cut grass, keeping the trimmer head slightly above the ground.

4.3 Using the Edger

The edger attachment provides clean, precise lines along sidewalks, driveways, and garden beds.

• Ensure the edger attachment is securely installed.
• Position the edger wheel along the edge you wish to trim.
• Engage the throttle and slowly guide the edger along the desired path.
• Maintain a steady pace for a consistent cut.

4.4 Using the Brush Cutter

For thicker weeds, brush, and small saplings, attach the brush cutter blade.

• Always ensure the brush cutter blade is sharp and securely fastened.
• Wear appropriate heavy-duty protective gear, including leg protection.
• Use a controlled, sweeping motion to cut through dense vegetation.
• Avoid cutting material thicker than recommended for the blade.
