The String Trimmer
Assembling the String Trimmer Attachment
Use the included screws to attach the string cutter to the safety hood. Attach
the safety hood itself to the shaft tube with the included screws and nuts.
Before the first use pull the strings out of the spool housing until they almost
reach the safety hood. Push the release button in the middle of the spool
housing and simultaneously pull on the ends of the string.
Start up the unit and run it at idle speed. The length of the string is regulated
automatically. Excess will be cut off by the string cutter attached to the safety
hood.
The strings will wear down or break over time. This will result in deteriorating
cutting performance. Press the spool housing to the ground or a hard surface
briefly during operation to push the release button. This will unlock the spool
and release fresh string and about 3 cm of string will be unwound. If more
string broke off, press the unit down repeatedly until the full cutting diameter is
restored.
