sharp cutting edge.

Preparing the trimmer for use
1. Cord tension relief: Form a loop with
the power cable and pull it through the
eyelet on the Trimmer’s handle. Place
the power cable around the knob, this
will prevent straining the power cable
during use, see Fig9 & Fig10.

2. Check the length of the nylon cutting
line, pull line to inner edge of outer
guard, if the line is very short, i.e. more
than 50mm away from the edge of
the guard. Push down on centre of the
cutting head and at the same time pull
the line a few centimeters beyond the
guard (see Fig11), when the trimmer
starts the line will automatically be cut
to the correct length.

3. When you need to increase the line
length during use you can simply ‘bump
feed’ the trimmer to restore line to
correct length. To bump feed, turn on the
trimmer and gently bump the top of the
cutting head on a firm surface, the line
will be automatically extended and cut,
see Fig12.

2. If you find that the nylon line is
too short follow the instruction as in
preparing the trimmer for use’ section 3
(see Fig11).

without touching the working area, and
