Trimmer Tips

Before each use

• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed. T ighten the guard scre w .

• Make sure the b attery is f ully charged and that the charger is disconnected b e f ore using or storing the trimmer.

• D o not store the grass trimmer / edger in sunlight , in an excessively warm place , or near a furnace. The battery life will be shortened.

• If the battery must be stored in a warm place, charge it frequently.

• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become entangled in the cutting line and thrown.

During use

• T rim only when the grass and weeds are dry.

• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting.

• Hold the grass trimmer / edger b y b oth the switch handle and the auxiliary handle for best control and balance.

• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer/edger in a semicircular motion around you.

• If possible, guide the grass trimmer/edger to the left to cut.The line will cut as soon as it leaves the guard, and the clippings are thrown away from you.

• T o produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the grass trimmer/edgermout of the area being cut with consistent speed and height.

• U se only the tip o f the cutting line to do the trimming , especially near walls and f ences.

T rimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor , wear out the line faster , and break the line more often.

• D o not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. T his will cause spool wear and battery drain.

• If the grass is higher than 6” (15 cm), trim in small stages.

• W hen the grass trimmer / edger is turned o ff and the spool stops rotating , the cutting line will rela x and may recede. Feed extra cutting line b efore storing the trimmer to prevent losing the line completely into the spool.

• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to b e advanced more often.

• If the grass trimmer/edger is not cutting correctly , the cutting line may not be feeding properly.

Remove and rewind the line spool.

How do I change the cutting line on the Greenworks 21072 string trimmer?
To change the cutting line, remove the battery pack, then remove the spool cover by pressing on two tabs parallel to each other on the side of the cover. Then remove the spool from the spool housing.
