Using the Makita GRU04M1 string trimmer is a breeze. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery into the trimmer. You can adjust the loop handle to a comfortable position for you. To start trimming, simply squeeze the variable speed trigger. You can choose from three speed settings according to your needs. If you encounter thick grass or weeds, switch to the higher speed. The Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode will adjust the RPM automatically for better performance. If the trimmer head gets clogged with grass or weeds, use the reverse function to clear it quickly. When it comes to loading the line on the rapid load bump and feed trimmer head, just follow three simple steps: align the line, feed it in, and then twist. For maintenance, keep the trimmer clean after each use. Wipe off any dirt or debris, especially around the motor and the trimmer head. Check the steel drive shaft regularly for any signs of wear. Store the trimmer in a dry place. Also, make sure to charge the battery properly and avoid over - discharging or over - heating it. And that's it! With these tips, you'll be able to use your Makita GRU04M1 string trimmer effectively for a long time.
