OPERATION
1. To switch ON, depress and
hold the lock-off button
whilst squeezing the On/
Off switch.
¥
Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times while operating the
grass trimmer.
¥
Start cutting nearest the mains
power source and work away
to make it easier to avoid the
extension cord.
¥
Do not push plastic blades against
hard material (rocks or concrete) during cutting as this may result in
damaged blades.
¥
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety devices.
¥
Do not cut grass that is wet. (The best results are achieved on dry
grass).
¥
Wait until the grass trimmer reaches full speed before cutting the
grass
¥
Move the grass trimmer from side
to side as you walk forward, holding
it at an angle of approx. 30° (Light
cuts are better than heavy cuts as
they allow the cut grass to fall away
from the cutting head.).
¥
Keep the grass trimmer away
from hard objects in order to avoid unnecessary blade wear and/or
damage. In the event of broken blades, you will have to fit new blades
to continue operation.
¥
Several passes will be required to
cut long grass as shown.
¥
To prevent the blade from breaking ensure you approach the edge/
object slowly and let the TIP of the blade do the work.
¥
Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with hard objects.
¥
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. Unplug and place the grass trimmer on the ground.
¥
Keep ventilation slots of the trimmer clean at all times. Periodically
clean out • the grass from the cutting head and the rim of the blade
guard to ensure efficient operation at all times.
For your safety this Grass Trimmer is designed with a safety
lock off mechanism to prevent accidental starting. If you only
squeeze the On/Off switch the Grass Trimmer will not start.

button can be released.
