Switching on and off
Connect the cable to the power.
To switch on, keep the switch trigger
depressed.
To switch off, release the switch
trigger.
WARNING! The tool runs for
approximately 5 seconds after it has
been switched off. Let the motor came
to a complete stand still before setting
the tool down.
Extending the line for spool set
To extend the line press the spool
onto the ground whilst the motor
is turning and the line will extend
automatically. For most effective
grass trimming, ensure the machine
is operation at full speed and then
use slow shallow sweeps of the line,
ensuring that you do not overload the
machine by cutting too fast or cutting
through heavy terrain.
Cutting with the spool
Make sure that the work area is free
of rock, debris, lines and other foreign
objects.
Start the tool before approaching the
grass to be cut.
If you need to release the line, please
“bump” the spool button of the
trimmer on the ground to feed out
line. If too much line is fed out and it
projects beyond the guard edge it is
cut by the line cutting blade.
Cut the grass by swinging the tool
from right to left and the tool 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.
Start cutting nearest the mains power
source and work away from it to make
it easier to avoid the cable.
High grass should be cut in layers
always beginning from the top. Do
not cut damp or wet grass. Do not
overload your tool.
Avoid wearing the line out quickly by
knocking against hard objects (stones,
walls, fences etc).
Watch out for kickbacks in the events
of impact with hard objects.
After finishing the cutting operation,
keep the head close to ground level,
release the switch and follow the
motor to come to a complete stand
still. Place the tool on the ground,
switch off and remove the cable plug
from the main supply.
NOTE: Periodically clean out the grass
between the spool and the rim of
the guard to prevent the tool from
vibrating.
