Operate the grass trimmer
Starting
Before starting the grass trimmer for the first time, check that the
nylon lines touch or pass over the wire cutting blade. If they are
not long enough, follow these steps:
• Take off the battery pack from the machine.
• Press the spool button.
• Pull more nylon wire to lengthen.
Install the battery pack. Switch the trimmer on. Press and hold the
safety lock-off button and then press the trigger on the handle.
Release the safety lock-off button.
The lengthened nylon line will be cut to size automatically by the
wire cutting blade once the grass trimmer is turned on.
During use, the nylon line will become shortened or worn. To
automatically lengthen or advance the nylon cutting line, the
trimmer will automatically elongate every time you turn on the
grass trimmer.
These operations should be repeated a few times before starting
work to make sure that everything is functioning properly and to
familiarise yourself with the grass trimmer. Start off slowly; when
you have gained experience, you will be able to use the grass
trimmer to its full potential.
