force to adjust the trimmer head to the most
comfortable position. The ratchet mechanism
will make a heavy clicking sound which is
normal and not a defect (See G).
8. ON/OFF SWITCH
To start, press and hold the switch. Release the
switch to stop.
Warning: The cutting head continues
to rotate after the trimmer has been
switched off, wait until it has stopped
then lay down the tool.
OPERATION
Warning:
Always wear the eye protection.
Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks
or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes
and face and cause blindness or other serious
injury when opening unit, check for the
following:
Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold
front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle
with another hand. Keep unit below waist level.
Work only from your right to your left to ensure
debris is thrown away from you. Without
bending over, keep line near and parallel to the
ground (perpendicular when edging) and not
crowded into material being cut.
Warning: Make sure that both lines
are fed out before operation. Make
sure motor is up to full speed before
trimming.
Warning:
Use only 1.2mm to 1.4mm
cutting line. diameter line. Other sizes
of line will not feed properly and will result in
improper cutting head function or can cause
serious injury. Do not use other material such as
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during
cutting and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
TRIMMING
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 8
cm above the ground and at an angle. Allow
only the tip of line to make contact. Do not force
trimmer line into work area.
EDGING (See H)
Unscrew the upper locking knob (3) and rotate
the main and auxiliary handle to 90o with
cutting head (See E).
Retighten the upper locking knob.
Adjust trimmer head angle to be the lowest
horizontal setting. Then position the wheel on
the ground for edge mode. The guard has two
white line guides to indicate the cutting line
position. Align these marks with the edge of
your lawn.
While edging allow the tip of the line to make
contact. Do not force the line. The rotation
wheel helps protect the unit and keeps the unit
from contacting the ground. Take extra caution
while edging as objects can be thrown from the
trimmer line.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small
length of line is fed out.
A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the lines
hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is
quit normal. After about 5 seconds the line will
be cut to the correct length and the noise will
reduce as the motor receives full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard,
more line will be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow
the trimmer to stop completely, then restart,
allowing the motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above 4 until you hear the lines hitting
against the line cutter (Do not repeat this
procedure more than 6 times).
TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See I)
If required line can be feed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual line feed
button (16), whilst gently pull out the lines until
the lines reach the line cutter.
When the required amount of line is fed out,
gently pull on the second line (there is no need
to press the manual line feed button again).
If the line extends past the line cutter, too much
line has been fed out.
If too much line is fed out, remove the spool
cap and click spool anti-clockwise until the line
is at the desired length.
