Lengthening the Line
This line trimmer is equipped with Automatic Line Advancement
which automatically feeds the additional line to the correct length
as it wears down.
•
To automatically advance the line, allow the line trimmer to
come to a complete stop. When the head comes to a stop,
a “Click” can be heard. The line will have automatically
advanced approximately 5cm. If a longer length of line is
required, repeat the automatic line advancement instruction.
•
To manually advance the line, ensure the line trimmer is
off and turn the line trimmer upside down. Push the tab on
the side of the cutter head and then pull on the end of both
pieces of line protruding from the cutter head.
CAUTION:
DO NOT CONTINUALLY TAP, BUMP OR HOLD
THE SPOOL HOLDER ON THE GROUND AS THIS MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SPOOL HOLDER OR
OVERLOAD THE UNIT.
1. Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times while operating the
line trimmer.
2. Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work away to
make it easier to avoid the extension cord.
3. Do not push the line against hard material (rocks or concrete) during
cutting as this may result in damaged line.
4. Never use the line trimmer without its safety devices.
5. Do not cut grass that is wet (The best results are achieved on dry
grass).
6. Wait until the line trimmer reaches full speed before cutting the
grass
7.
Keep the line trimmer away from hard objects in order to avoid
unnecessary wear to the line.
9. To prevent the line from breaking ensure you approach the edge/
object slowly.

11. After finishing the cutting
operation, keep the head
close to ground level, release
the switch and allow the
motor to come to a complete
standstill. Unplug and place
the line trimmer on the
ground.
12. Keep ventilation slots of the trimmer clean at all times. Periodically
clean out the grass from the cutting head and the rim of the safety
guard to ensure efficient operation at all times.
