ASSEMBLING
Do not connect the machine
to the mains socket before it
is completely assembled.
The grass trimmer is supplied with some
components not assembled. To assemble these
proceed as follows:
Assembling the motor housing
Insert the motor housing (5) into the handgrip (4),
make sure the cable between will not be damaged.
Mounting the guard
Align the reference indices of the body of the spool
holder and of the guard. Insert the guard in the body
(up to the collar) and rotate it in the direction
indicated by the arrow until the hole of the guard
corresponds to that of the body. Firm the screws
supplied.
Caution! During this operation beware of the line
cutter blade. You may be wounded.
Caution! Never use the grass trimmer without the
guard. It is vital for your and other peoples’ safety
and for the good working order of the trimmer. The
failure to observe this safety regulation is not only
dangerous but also annuls the guarantee terms.
Use of the cable holder
The handle is equipped with a cable holder that
serves for connection of the extension cable.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Remove stones, loose pieces
of wood and other objects
from the cutting area.
The cutting line continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the trimmer is switched off. Allow
the motor/cutting line to stop rotating before
switching “on” again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.
_
Connect the appliance to a suitable extension
cord.
_
Hook the extension cord behind the clamp.
_
Hold the appliance with both hands.
_
Slowly move the appliance back and forth.
_
When working long grass proceed layer
for layer.
_
Keep the appliance away from hard
objects and plants.
_
Only use the appliance for working dry
grass.
_
The appliance will automatically feed the
cutting line during use.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
If the trimmer is to be used for the first time, check
that the nylon line touches or passes over the
cutting blade. The nylon line will be cut
automatically when turn on the switch to the
maximum length. If it does not reach the necessary
length, push the head of spool with your finger while
pulling the lines.
Insert the plug into the extension cable and attach it
to the handle. Pressure the switch and make the
trimmer turn at no load; thus, the line length is
automatically adjusted. Only approach the
implement to the grass to be cut while it is in
operation, i.e. while the switch is pressed down.
Caution! Before turn on the switch, take the
blade cover away.
To cut long grass, take several small cuts. Never cut
wet or very damp grass. The line has to be
protected against premature wear caused by hard
obstacles; for this purpose, keep the trimmer away
from hard surfaces using the guard's edge as a
protection. A short or worn line will reduce cutting
capacity. So, to restore the line to its optimum
length, push the implement to the ground while it is
running; this way, the line will automatically be the
correct length.
CAUTION!
The short or worn line cuts less
efficiently therefore, to improve its operations,
unplug the electrical supply and repeat the
operation described in the beginning of the chapter.
These make sure that everything is functioning
properly and to familiarize yourself with the grass
trimmer.
CAUTION!
After switching off, the nylon line will
continue to rotate for a few more seconds.
REPLACEMENT OF THE LINE SPOOL
Unplug from the socket.
Turn upside down the machine with the guard
facing upwards.
Hold with one hand the motor fan firmly and
with the other hold the spool holder . Push the
clips of the spool holder both side down and
pull it out of the motor fan.
Extract the empty spool and clean the inside of
the spool holder carefully removing all dust
and grass residues.
Insert now the new spool in the motor fan and
push the end of line through the lateral holes
provided on the motor fan.
Push the spool holder on and fasten it
securely.
Re-establish the length of the nylon line by
pushing the head of spool holder and pull the
line ends out to the desired length (approx. 10
cm).
