Remove cable clamp (see opposite, figure a).
Take care of loose parts.

To connect the extension cable to the connector
terminals, unscrew the terminal screws until the
clamp washers have lifted just enough to enter
the conductor between the raised washer and
the terminal (see below). Connect the brown lead
to ‘L’ and the blue lead to ‘N’.

Note: 

There is no need to remove the terminal

screws. Connections are not to be made under
the screw heads.

Locate the cable and cable protector into the
body correctly (see below, figure a). Then fit the
cable clamp over the outer sheath of the cable
and screw down until the screws are fully home.
Failure to do this may result in the cover not
fitting correctly to the connector body.

Before replacing the cover of the ‘female’
connector make sure that the cable clamp is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly with
screws fully home and that the two leads are
correctly fixed at the terminal screws and are not
taut (see below, figure a).

Place the cover onto the body assembly
ensuring that it seats flat, then retighten the fixing
screw into the nut until the cover is securely held
(see below, figure c).

Finally check that the cable protector is secure
and that there are no gaps between the cover
and the connector body.

Preparing your trimmer for use
(Fig. C - E)

Take your trimmer, guard and parts pack
out of the carton.

Remove the guard screws from the
parts pack.

C

Place the guard (6) over the spool
housing (13) on your trimmer taking care
that the line (5) does not become stuck
between the two parts.

D

Align the arrow (10) on the guard (6) with
the square marking (9) on your trimmer
body and push the guard upwards until it
contacts the underside of the body. Now
slide the guard forward until the square
marking on the guard aligns with the
square marking on your trimmer body.
Ensure that the ridge on the guard has
located in the slot on your trimmer body.

E

Once the guard is in position, secure with
the two guard screws which go through
the guard screw holes (11) and into your
trimmer body.

In transit, the end of the cutting line (5) is
taped to the side of the spool cover.
Please discard the tape to release the
length of line. There should be a
minimum length of 9cm (3.5") of cutting
line protruding from the spool housing
before you use your trimmer.

Note:

 When your trimmer is operated for the

first time, any excess line will be cut off by
the line trimming blade (7) housed in the
guard. This is also the case for any
subsequent line adjustment. Because line
cut off by the blade in the guard may be
ejected, it is important that the amount of
excess line is kept to a minimum. Where an
excessive amount of line is pulled out, the
line should be cut back to the outside of the
guard before switching on your trimmer. Cut
the line off on your trimmer blade by hand.

Always ensure that the spool cover is
secure before and after use.

How to use your trimmer (Fig. B)

To switch on your trimmer press the switch
lever. To switch the unit off, release the
switch lever.

In order to get the most from your trimmer,
please learn the following techniques.
Do not be impatient, you will obtain the best
results by experience and by following these
simple rules.

B1

Do not use your trimmer without its guard.
