5. Before starting the equipment
5.1 Assembly of the Grass trimmer (Fig. 3-5b)
•
Assemble the upper long handle (Fig. 3/
Item 7) and lower long handle (Fig. 3/Item 8)
together in the direction of the arrow, until the
lock (Fig./Item 6) is securely engaged in the
upper long handle.
•
Remove the screw set from the additional
handle (Fig. 2/Item 4).
•
Mount the additional handle (Fig. 4/Item 4)
onto the upper long handle and secure it with
the aforementioned screw set.
•
Place the guard hood (Fig. 5a/Item 9) on the
motor head and turn it anticlockwise until it
reaches the stop.
•
Secure the guard hood with screws (Fig. 5b/
Item 10).
5.2 Adjusting the additional handle:
Place the grass trimmer on a
fi
rm surface. Undo
the lock of the additional handle (Fig. 4/Item 5)
and move the additional handle to its optimal
position. Lock the handle in place by retightening
the lock.
6. Operation
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the
semi-automatic line extension system, the line
is automatically extended to ensure that you can
cut your lawn with the perfect cutting width at all
times. Please note that the more often you activa-
te the semi-automatic line extension system, the
more the line will wear.
Note:
If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the
fi
rst time, the surplus end of it
will be cut by the blade on the guard hood.
If the line is too short when you start the machi-
ne for the
fi
rst time, press the knob on the line
spool and pull the line hard. When you start the
equipment again the line will be cut to the perfect
length automatically.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you ob-
serve the following instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
•
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best re-
sults are had on dry grass.
•
Connect the power cable to the extension
cable and fasten this to the strain-relief clamp
(Figure 6/Item A).
•
To switch on your grass trimmer press the sa-
fety lock-off (Figure 6 / Item B) and then press
the ON/OFF switch (Figure 6 / Item 3).
•
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 6 / Item 3).
•
Do not move the grass trimmer against the
grass until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until
the trimmer is running.
•
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, hol-
ding it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so
(see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
•
Make several passes to cut long grass shor-
ter step by step from the top (see Figure 10).
•
Make full use of the edge guide and the guide
hood in order to avoid unnecessary line wear
(see Figure 13 and Figure 14).
•
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard ob-
jects in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
(Fig. 11)
To cut he edges of lawns and
fl
ower beds, the
grass trimmer can be converted as follows:
•
Separate both halves of the long handle
again by pressing the stop (Fig. 3/Item 6).
•
Connect the two halves again once they have
been turned through 180° (Fig. 3).
•
Secure correct engagement.
•
Now you have converted the grass trimmer to
an edge trimmer for cutting the lawn vertically.
