Switching on and off
1. Insert a charged battery into the handle of the line
trimmer, ensuring the
battery pack is locked
in place.
2. To switch on depress
the lock off button (3) on
the Left hand side of the
handle and at the same
time press the Trigger
switch (2).
3. To switch off, release the trigger switch.
WARNING:
The tool runs for approximately 4 seconds after
it has been switched off. Let the motor come to a complete
standstill before setting the tool down.
Trimming
WARNING:
Make sure that the work area is free of rocks,
debris, lines and other foreign objects.
1. Start the trimmer before approaching the grass to
be cut.
2. Stop the trimmer and check the line has fully extended
and has been trimmed by the line cutting blade. If the line
is short re start the line trimmer.
Note:
Each time the trimmer is stopped and re started
the line will release and extend by approx 10mm..
3. Cut the grass by swinging the trimmer from right to left
and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined forwards
at an angle of about 30°. Light cuts are better than heavy
cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away from the
spool, preventing the grass from clogging the spool.
4. High grass should be cut in layers always beginning from
the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not overload
your trimmer.
5. Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against
hard objects (stones, walls, fences etc.).
6. Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with hard
objects.
7. After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close
to ground level, release the switch and allow the motor to
come to a complete standstill. Place the trimmer on the
ground and remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
Note:
Periodically clean out the grass between the spool
and the rim of the guard to prevent the tool from vibrating.
Increasing the cutting line
1. Before starting ensure the
cutting line is the correct
length. Pull the cutting line
to the edge of the guard
(8).
2. If the line is too short push
down on the button on
the spool (9) and at the
same time pull the line out
so that it extends a few
centimetres past the edge of the guard.
When the line reaches the designed cutting length, the
blade on the guard will trim the line. This may need a
couple of attempts depending how short the
line is.
If the line extends out further than the guard, it is
suggested to trim it with a pair of scissors.
3. During operation, to increase the length of the cutting line,
stop and restart the trimmer line. Each time the trimmer is
started and stopped the line will feed out approx 10mm.
