When the battery ( 15 ) is placed in the charger ( 16 ), the red diode
( 17 ) on the charger turns on to indicate that the charging is in
progress.
At the same time green diodes (
19 ) of the battery level indication are
flashing in different configurations, see description below.
• All diodes are flashing
– the battery is empty and requires
charging.
• 2 diodes are flashing – the battery is partially discharged.
• 1 diode is flashing – the battery level is high.
Once the battery is charged, the diode (
17
) on the charger lights
green, and all battery level diodes ( 19 ) light continuously. After
some time (approx. 15 s) the battery level indication diodes ( 19 )
turn off.
Do not charge the battery for more than 8 hours. Exceeding this
time limit may cause damage to battery cells. The charger does
not turn off automatically when the battery is full. Green diode
on the charger will remain on. Battery level indication diodes turn
off after some time. Disconnect power supply before removing
the battery from the charger socket. Avoid consecutive short
chargings. Do not charge the battery after short use of the tool.
Significant decrease of the period between chargings indicates
the battery is worn out and should be replaced.
Batteries heat up when charging. Do not operate just after
charging – wait for the battery to cool down to room temperature.
It will prevent battery damage.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION
The battery is equipped with signalisation of the battery level (3
LED diodes) ( 19 ). To check battery level status, press the button
for battery level indication ( 18 ) ( fig. C ). When all diodes are lit, the
battery level is high. When 2 diodes are on, the battery is partially
discharged. When only one diode is lit, the battery is discharged and
must be recharged.
GUARD INSTALLATION
• Put the guard ( 11 ) on the motor casing, so the protective section
is pointed towards the operator.
• Secure the guard ( 11 ) to the motor casing with the supplied
screws ( 20 ) ( fig. D ).
HEAD INSTALLATION
The head ( 13 ) is supplied disassembled with 2 attached cutting
parts ( 12 ).
• Put the head ( 13 ) onto the spindle ( 21 ) so that its flat section with
the hole matches the corresponding area of the spindle (
fig. D
).
•
Use supplied screw and turn counter clockwise to tighten (left-
hand thread) ( fig. E ).
The device can operate correctly only when the head is equipped
with 2 cutting parts. Operation with only 1 cutting part is
forbidden.
EDGE ROD
The edge rod is used to trim grass near edges and corners of lawns.
It protects the cutting parts from damaging with sharp edges, e.g.
concrete pavement sides.
• The edge rod ( 1 ) located on the motor casing can be adjusted by
sliding it in or out, according to the needs (
fig. F
).
ADJUSTMENT OF THE AUXILIARY HANDLE
Auxiliary handle is designed for right- and left-handed persons.
When starting operation always hold the grass trimmer firmly with
both hands and by two handles.
• Loosen the locking knob for auxiliary handle ( 3 ) and set the
auxiliary handle ( 4 ) in the optimal position for the task at hand
( fig. G ).
• Tighten the locking knob for auxiliary handle ( 3 ) to secure it in
the position.
LENGTH ADJUSTMENT OF THE TELESCOPIC PIPE
Length adjustment of the telescopic pipe allows to match height of
the tool with persons with various height and posture.
• Loosen the locking ring for telescopic pipe ( 2 ).
• Slide out/in the telescopic pipe ( 9 ) to desired length ( fig. H ).
• Lock by tightening the locking ring of the telescopic pipe ( 2 ).
SETTING TILT ANGLE OF THE MAIN HANDLE
Thanks to convenient feature of adjustable head angular position
related to the main handle, it is possible to trim lawn and flower bed
edges and mow in hard to reach areas, e.g. under seats, hammock,
table etc.
•
Press in the locking button for head tilt angle (
10
).
•
Press on the telescopic pipe (
9
) to choose desired angle of the
head tilt ( fig. I ).
•
Release the locking button for head tilt angle (
10
) to automatically
secure selected position.
Be very careful when using the grass trimmer for vertical
trimming of lawns and flower bed edges. Stay away from the
plane of cutting line rotation to avoid risk of being hit with an
object projected by the cutting line.
ROTATABLE MAIN HANDLE
Rotation of main handle in relation to the head by 90° clockwise
or counter-clockwise allows to trim flower bed and lawn edges
vertically.
•
Hold the trimmer body and pull the telescopic pipe (
9
) and rotate
it clockwise or counter-clockwise (follow the signs located on the
ring).
• Release the pressure, and the spring action will make the
telescopic pipe ( 9 ) with the main handle ( 7 ) lock in the selected
position (
fig. J
).
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / OFF
The grass trimmer switch features protection against accidental
start up.
Switching on – press the switch lock button ( 6 ) and press the switch
button (
5
) (
fig. K
).
Switching off
– release pressure on the switch button (
5
).
Cutting parts rotate for some time after the motor is switched off.
Never attempt to lock the switch in the ON position.
All parts must be assembled properly and must fulfil requirements
that ensure appropriate and safe grass trimmer operation. Any
damaged protective element or part must be repaired or replaced
immediately.
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE
• When trimming long grass perform the work gradually, by layers.
• Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects and cultivated
plants.
• Operate the grass trimmer only when the grass is dry.
• When trimming edges drive the tool along lawn edge.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery from the device before commencing
any activities related to installation, adjustment, repair or
maintenance.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
•
Cleaning the device after each use is recommended.
• Clean ventilation holes in engine casing regularly.
• Remove grass residues from the guard and the head regularly.
• Never clean the device with water, aggressive fluids or solvents.
