Adjust the length of the shoulder strap to ensure the machine is well balanced and as comfortable as
possible. Use the strap to take the weight of the trimmer, especially when the telescopic poles are fully
extended. Using the strap to its potential will make trimming much easier, faster and less tiring.
Grip Handle Assembly and Adjustment
Our machine is supplied with an extra grip handle that you may prefer to use instead of the black sponge
grip on the handle. Fit the handle as illustrated in Fig 17 below. The handle support bracket which has to be
fitted to the pole using the two screws supplied has the same shaped oval profile as the pole and MUST be
fitted with the profiles in the same direction. Once the bracket is fitted, fit the handle using the
hand-tightening knob. This can be angled and locked in whichever position you find most comfortable.
Please see Fig 18 below. FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF ONLOOKERS IT IS VITAL TO
ENSURE YOU TIGHTEN AND LOCK THIS HANDLE SECURELY TO PREVENTING IT MOVING.
