7. Proper use
The trimmer is designed for cutting lawns and
small areas of grass in private and hobby
gardens.
Tools for private and hobby gardens are not
suitable for use in public facilities, parks and
sport centers, along roadways, on farms or in
the forestry sector.
For the tool to be used properly it is imperative
to follow the instructions set out in the
manufacturerʼs directions for use.
Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to
chop material for composting because of
the potential danger to persons and
property.
8. Starting up
The electric scythe is designed only to cut
grass.
The tool has a semi-automatic line extension
system. Each time you activate the semi-
automatic line extension system, the line is
automatically extended to ensure that you can
cut your lawn with the perfect cutting width at
all times. You can activate the line extension
system with a short tap of the machine against
the ground.
Please note that the more often you activate
the semi-automatic line extension system, the
more the line will wear.
Note:
If the line is too long when you use the
machine for the first time, the surplus end
of it will be cut by the blade on the safety
hood.
If the line is too short when you start the
machine for the first time, press the knob
on the line spool and pull the line hard.
When you then start the machine for the
first time the line will be cut to the perfect
length automatically.
To obtain maximum performance from your
electric scythe, please follow the instructions
given below:
앬
Never use the tool without the guard.
앬
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved with dry grass.
앬
Connect the power cable to the extension
cable and attach it to the handle (Fig. 8).
앬
To switch on, first push the safety lock-off
(Fig. 9 / Item 3) forwards and then press
the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 9 / Item 4).
앬
To switch off, let go of the ON/OFF switch
(Fig. 9 / Item 4).
앬
Do not allow the tool near the grass until
the switch is pressed, i.e. the tool is
running.
앬
To cut properly, swing the tool sideways
while moving forwards. Keep the tool
inclined at an angle of approx. 30° while
you do so (see Figs. 10 and 11).
앬
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut
shorter in stages, starting from the tip (see
Fig. 12).
앬
Use the edge guide and the guard hood to
prevent unnecessary wear on the line.
앬
Keep the electric scythe away from hard
