INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Remove stones, loose
pieces of wood and other
objects from the cutting
area.
The cutting line continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the trimmer is switched off. Allow
the motor/cutting line to stop rotating before
switching “on” again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.
_ Connect the appliance to a suitable extension
cord.
_ Hook the extension cord behind the clamp.
_ Hold the appliance with both hands.
_ Slowly move the appliance back and forth.
_ When working long grass proceed layer
for layer.
_ Keep the appliance away from hard
objects and plants.
_ Only use the appliance for working dry
grass.
_ The appliance will automatically feed the
cutting line during use.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
If the trimmer is to be used for the first time, check
that the nylon line touches or passes over the
cutting blade. The nylon line will be cut
automatically when turn on the switch to the
maximum length. If it does not reach the necessary
length, push the head of spool with your finger while
pulling the lines .
Insert the plug into the extension cable and attach it
to the handle. Pressure the switch and make the
trimmer turn at no load; thus, the line length is
automatically adjusted. Only approach the
implement to the grass to be cut while it is in
operation, i.e. while the switch is pressed down.
Caution! Before turn on the switch, take the
blade cover away.
To cut long grass, take several small cuts. Never cut
wet or very damp grass. The line has to be
protected against premature wear caused by hard
obstacles; for this purpose, keep the trimmer away
from hard surfaces using the guard's edge as a
protection. A short or worn line will reduce cutting
capacity. So, to restore the line to its optimum
length, push the implement to the ground while it is
running; this way, the line will automatically be the
correct length .
CAUTION! The short or worn line cuts less
efficiently therefore, to improve its operations,
unplug the electrical supply and repeat the
operation described in the beginning of the chapter.
These make sure that everything is functioning
properly and to familiarize yourself with the grass
trimmer.
CAUTION! After switching off, the nylon line will
continue to rotate for a few more seconds.
REPLACEMENT OF THE LINE SPOOL

Unplug from the socket.

Turn upside down the machine with the guard
facing upwards.

Hold with one hand the motor fan (1) firmly and
with the other hold the spool holder (2). Push
the clips of the spool holder both side down
and pull it out of the motor fan.


inside of the spool holder carefully removing all
dust and grass residues.

Insert now the new spool in the motor fan and
push the end of line through the lateral holes
provided on the motor fan.

Push the spool holder on and fasten it
securely.

Re-establish the length of the nylon line by
pushing the head of spool holder and pull the
line ends out to the desired length (approx. 10
cm).
CAUTION! Under no circumstances wind extra line
on the empty spool but instead replace it with a new
one, the same as the original. The use of line with
different characteristics to those of the original can
permanently damage the grass trimmer as well as
