Increasing the cutting line
1.
Before the first cutting, ensure
the cutting line is the correct
length. Remove the cover and
take out the spool.
2.
If the line is too short release
the line from the automatic
feed spool and at the same
time pull the line out so that
it extends a few centimeters
past the edge of the guard.
3.
Reload the spool and lock the
cover.
4.
During operation to increase
the cutting line simply switch
the line trimmer off and then
on again, this with restore the
line to the correct length.
Switching ON and OFF
1.
Connect the battery pack to
trimmer.
2.
Press the lock-off button (4),
then press the trigger switch (3).
3.
To switch OFF, release the
trigger switch.
m
WARNING.
The tool runs

the motor come to a complete standstill before setting the tool
down.
Trimming
m
WARNING.
Ensure the work area is free from
rocks, debris, lines and other foreign objects.
1.
Start the trimmer before approaching the grass to be
cut.
2.
The automatic line feed mechanism releases 12mm
from each line when the trimmer reaches a certain
speed. If you need the spool to release more than
12mm of line per side, release the trigger until the
speed falls beyond the trigger point then press the
switch again. As the speed picks up a further 12mm
will be released for both lines.
3.
Cut the grass by swinging the trimmer from right to
left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined
forwards at an angle of about 30°. Light cuts are better
than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away
from the spool preventing the grass from clogging the
spool.
4.
High grass should be cut in layers always beginning
from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not
overload your trimmer.
5.
Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against
hard objects (stones, walls, fences etc.).
6.
Be alert for possible kickback when there is impact
with hard objects.
7.
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. Place the
trimmer on the ground, switch OFF.
NOTE:
Periodically clean out the grass between the spool and
the rim of the guard to prevent the tool from vibrating.
Using as an edger
NOTE:
Always unplug the trimmer before carrying out any
maintenance or making any adjustments to the line trimmer.
1.
Loosen the handle rotating knob (19) and rotate the
shaft 90 degrees, so the handle is facing the opposite
direction.
2.
Tighten the rotating button (19), ensuring that the
handle is in position for edging.
3.
Ensure the cutting line is the correct length (see
Increasing the cutting line). You can now use the line
trimmer as an edger. The wheel guides the line trimmer
along the ground.
