To adjust the angle of a trimmer head, follow this simple procedure that primarily involves physical manipulation.
Adjusting the Trimmer Head Angle
The primary adjustment for a trimmer head involves changing its angle, and this is done manually. Here's how:
- Stabilize the Trimmer:
- Place one foot firmly on the trimmer's safety guard to keep it steady.
- Grip the Shaft:
- Hold the trimmer shaft securely with your hands.
- Apply Force:
- To angle the trimmer head upwards, apply adequate force upwards while holding the shaft and keeping your foot on the safety guard.
- To angle the trimmer head downwards, apply adequate force downwards while holding the shaft and keeping your foot on the safety guard.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Secure | Place foot on safety guard |
| 2. Grip | Firmly hold the trimmer shaft |
| 3. Adjust Upwards | Apply upward force on the shaft |
| 4. Adjust Downwards | Apply downward force on the shaft |
Important Considerations:
- Safety First: Always ensure the trimmer is turned off and disconnected from any power source before making adjustments.
- Proper Grip: Maintain a firm grip on the shaft to avoid losing control.
- Check Manual: Consult your specific trimmer's manual for any model-specific instructions or warnings.
- Avoid Over-force: Don't use excessive force that could potentially damage the mechanism.
By following these steps, you can effectively adjust the angle of your trimmer head for optimal use and comfort.
