Summary: Start an electric trimmer to cut grass or weeds, make sure you are holding it properly and learn safety tips in this free landscaping video.
"Hi, this is Jon on behalf of Expert Village in this video clip we'll be talking about starting the trimmer. You want to start off by holding the trimmer both on the rear handle and the front handle and make sure you keep your fingers off of the trigger switch. Now on the opposite side of the trimmer we have our trigger switch safety button, that button has to be depressed before we can squeeze our trigger. If we just squeeze the trigger it's not going to turn on so we need to make sure that we push that button in fully and then squeeze our trigger, and that is going to start our trimmer. When we are finish using our trimmer all we need to do is release the trigger switch and the trimmer will stop. Now it is highly recommended that you wear gloves and of course safety glasses are a must."
