In order to more ergonomic usage of trimmer to edge mowing you can turn the bottom cover of the cords. To do this, you should
pull the lock in the direction shown by the arrow (VI), hold it down, and then turn. There are two positions to for locking i.e. 0
degrees and 180 degrees. Lower the lock ring and make sure that it returned to its starting position, and that the position of the
power cord cover has been locked in a new position. In addition, it is possible to turn the cutting head alone by 90 degrees. To do
this, press the button located on the head (IV). This will release of the lock, and the internal spring will begin rotation of the cutting
head. You should manually rotate the head until it is locked in a new position. Restoration to its previous position is performed by
pressing the button, and then, by manual rotation of the head until the moment of its locking in the previous position.
Due to this, that the blade, which is used for automatic shortening of the cutting line, was placed on the eccentric, it is possible to
rotate the blade, which will cause the step width change between the values listed in the table of technical data. The dial should be
pressed, hold down, and then rotated (XI) and release the pressure in such a way that it would be locked in the position described
the required width of the cut.
When you are using the trimmer for vertical cutting of edges (X), you can use the auxiliary wheel, which is attached to the edge
of the cutting element cover, this will facilitate the trimmer driving. During normal horizontal grass cutting it is recommended to
use a spacer guard, which is located in the front of cutting head. This will facilitate the protection of vertical surface against being
hit by the cutting line.
Replacing the line
To do this, you should pull the line segment, which is protruding from the spool, and then press the lock button of the spool (VII).
Each time, when you press, the line unwinds a few millimeters. It is not recommended to unwind the line over a length suffi cient to
reach the blade guard. After starting the trimmer, the line segment, which is extending beyond the blade guard, is cut.
If you will not be able to further unwind the line, this means, that the line on the spool is worn and it should be replaced.
You should prepare a line section with a length and diameter shown in the table. Then remove the spool cover cover by
simultaneously pressing both buttons ot the lock cover (VIII). Pull out the spool, then clean it and clean the interior of spool.
One end of the line should be attached to the spool, by threading it through the eyelet in the spool and tying (X). Then, the
remaining section of the line you should slip tightly onto the spool in the direction indicated by the arrow on the spool. During the
winding, you should avoid crossing beams and tangling of line. Leave a section of several centimeters length and thread it through
the hole in the spool guard (IX). Mount the spool in the spool guard so that the arrow on the spool would point toward the same
direction as the arrow on the cover of the cutting element. Then mount the spool cover and see whether the line unwinds freely
by the described above attempt to unwind it.
Preparing the workplace
Before starting work, you should prepare the workplace. Before starting the work you should assign a safety zone with a radius of
at least 15 meters away from the place of work, which will not be accessible for bystanders. Make sure, that around the workplace
there are not obstacles, which can cause collision of the operator or grass trimmer during its operation.
Connecting the grass trimmer to power (XII)
Insert the battery into the power socket, with its pins facing to the inside of the shear and to the top, until the battery latches will
lock. Make sure, that the battery will not slip out during work.
You should disconnect the battery by pressing and holding the latch, and then remove the battery from the grass trimmer
housing.
Starting and stopping the grass trimmer
Make sure, that the battery is connected to the grass trimmer, and that from the cutting element guard it was removed the protec-
tion, and that the cutting element has no contact with any part of the body and other objects.
Adopt an position, that ensures balance. With one hand catch the front handle. With the other hand grasp the rear handle. Push
with your thumb the lock switch, and press the switch with other fi ngers, this will start the trimmer.
During operation it is not necessary to hold the lock.
The grass trimmer is stopped after releasing pressure on the switch. The cutting device can rotate for some time after the engine
is stopped. It is forbidden to stop the cutting element by applying pressing it to the ground or to other object.
After a complete stoppage of cutting element, you should disconnect the shear from the power supply by disconnecting it from the
battery. Then proceed to maintenance.
Work with the trimmer
Do not allow operation of the device at low rev speeds or during startup.
It is recommended, to move the grass trimmer from right to left during its work. You should avoid mowing, by moving the trimmer
from left to right. This will allow the operator to avoid, during cutting, the ejected remnants of cut grass.
Avoid mowing the shrubs and bushes. Work the grass trimmer near trees can damage their bark. Hitting with line stones, bricks,
walls or similar surfaces, can lead to very rapid wear of the line.
You should avoid cutting by the upper quadrant of the cutting element (IX). This will prevent situation, when the grass trimmer is
