After the cutting element has come to a complete stop, unplug the trimmer from mains by unplugging the power cord from the
socket. Next, proceed with maintenance.
Trimmer operation
Do not allow the tool to operate at low speed or during start-up.
It is recommended to move the trimmer from right to left during work. Avoid mowing by moving the trimmer from left to right. This
will allow the operator to avoid ejected mowed grass residues during mowing.
Avoid mowing shrubs and bushes. Operating the trimmer near trees may damage the bark. Hitting the stones, bricks, brickworks,
or other similar surfaces may cause the string to run out very fast.
Avoid trimming with the upper right quarter of the blade (VII). This will prevent the trimmer from kickback towards the operator if
the blade is blocked during operation.
Working tips
Maintain balance and proper posture during work. Exercise particular caution when working on a slippery, inclined, or uneven
surface.
Continuously monitor the cutting element during work. Do not mow in places which are out of sight.
Before starting work, inspect the workplace thoroughly, remove all loose branches and residues from the previous mowing.
Take regular breaks when working. During operation, the tool emits noise and vibration, which impact the tool’s operator. Taking
regular breaks and wearing personal protective equipment such as gloves, hearing protectors and eye protection allows to reduce
the impact of the tool on the operator’s well-being.
Start work when healthy and in good shape. In case of nausea, headache, sight problems (e.g., reduced visual range), hearing
problems, or dizziness, immediately stop operating the tool.
Mow high grass gradually from above; this will reduce the risk of the grass mowed being wound on the spool with the string.
Try to mow the grass only with the string end; this will reduce the risk of the grass mowed being wound on the spool with the string.
If, during operation, any part of the trimmer or guard is damaged or deformed, replace or repair it before resuming work.
The string in the cutter head unwinds automatically. If the grass cutting width decreases this may mean that the string is not un-
wound to the full length. If this is the case, carefully tap the head on the ground so that the button located in the middle of the head
is pressed. This will unwind the string which will be cut to the appropriate length by the blade in the cutter guard.
Do not rest the trimmer on the head on the ground for too long, as this may wear out of the string wound on the spool located in
the head.
String replacement
Warning! Make sure that the power cord of the trimmer has been disconnected from mains before replacing the string.
Prepare a section of the string with the length and diameter as provided in the table. Then remove the spool guard cover by simul-
taneously pressing both cover lock buttons (VIII). Pull out the spool and then clean it and the inside of the cutting head. There is
a spring under the spool, make sure not to lose it.
Place the string in the middle of the length through the notch in the middle fl ange of the spool (IX). Then tightly wind the ends of the
string on the spool in the direction indicated by the arrow on the spool. Leave a few centimetres of the string for each end, which
should then be passed through the eyelets in the cutting head (X).
Install the spring and spool into the cutting head and secure with the cover.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Warning! Before starting any of the operations described below, make sure that the power cord of the trimmer is disconnected
from mains.
After each use, inspect the condition of the tool with particular attention to the fl ow capacity of ventilation openings.
Check the placement of all of the tool’s components. Tighten all loose screw connections, if any. Check the condition of the cut-
ting element. Clean the cutting element guard and the spool from grass residues. If the cutting element guard and/or the spool
is damaged, replace it before performing further work. It is forbidden to use the trimmer with a damaged cutting element guard
and/or the spool.
Clean the tool’s housing with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the housing from grass residues, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Store
the disconnected tool in a dry and closed room.
Store the tool in shaded and dry places with appropriate ventilation preventing steam condensation. Such place should not be
accessible to unauthorised persons, especially children. During storage, the blades should always be protected with a guard.
