ELECTRIC STRING TRIMMER USER'S MANUAL
12 Operating instructions | Instructions for proper trimming
The voltage fl uctuations caused by this machine during start-up may during unfavourable mains
conditions cause interference with other devices connected to the same circuit. In such a case take
appropriate measures (e.g. connect the string trimmer to a different circuit or operate it in circuit
with a lower impedance).
Pay attention to necessary extension cords.
If you are not using the product, or if you know that you will not be using it soon, turn it off and
disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. Prior to cleaning, proceed in the same manner.
Always pull the power plug from the mains, if:
– you are leaving the string trimmer,
– the machine starts to vibrate unusually (inspect immediately).
Electrical safety
The string trimmer can be inserted into any light power socket (with an alternating current of 230
V). Permissible is, however, only a socket protected by a 10 A protective switch and a protective
switch against false current with max. 30 mA.
Use only undamaged power cords. Power cords cannot be of any length (max. 50 m), otherwise
the power of the electrical motor will be reduced. The power cord to the machine must have a cross
section of 3 × 1.5 mm
2 . The insulation on electric string trimmer power cords is damaged very often.
The causes of this are:
– damaged caused by driving over the power cord
– compression of the power cord when it goes under doors, windows, etc.
– cracks caused by the ageing of the insulation
– broken places caused by unprofessional connections or power cord routes.
Power cords damaged in this way are often used despite the fact that they are deadly. Power cords,
power plugs and power sockets must meet the following conditions. Electrical power cords for
connecting the string trimmer must have rubber insulation.
Power plugs and connecting sockets on power cords must be from rubber and protected against
spraying water. Connecting power cords must not be of any length. Longer power cords require
a larger cross section. Regularly inspect the power and extension cords for damage. During an
inspection power cords must be disconnected. Fully unwind the power cord. Also inspect broken
places on the connecting power cords at the power plug and the connecting power sockets.
The connecting power sockets on connecting elements must be made from rubber, soft PVC or
another thermoplastic material of the same strength, or must be coated with this material.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER TRIMMING
Working procedure
Move the string trimmer left and right while holding it at a suffi cient distance from the body.
The string trimmer can effectively cut grass up to a height of 15 cm. Cut higher grass gradually.
Take care when trimming around trees and bushes so that they do not come into contact with the
line. Plants may die off if damaged.
