Use the head with cutting line only to mow the grass. The blade is intended for cutting shrubs, ligni fi ed plant shoots, etc.
To install the cutting element guard, screw it using screws to the spindle guard (II). The supplied guard is suitable for working both
with the line and blade. The guard has a small blade for automatic shortening of the line. If the blade has protection, remove it
before commencing work with the line.
Install the grass trimmer handles. To do this, remove the upper part of the handles’ clamp by unscrewing all screws. Then, in the lower
part of the clamp, place the handle connector and reinstall the clamp’s upper part. Secure both parts of the clamp using screws (III).
Connect both parts of the drive shaft cover. To do this, loosen the knob of the clamp connecting the drive shaft covers, then press
and hold the latch lever. Insert the lower cover into the clamp and make sure that the latch hook fi ts into the hole in the cover (IV).
Secure the connection by tightening the clamp knob so that both halves of the drive shaft cover are fi xed relative to each other.
Depending on the equipment supplied, install the belt (V) or harness (VI). Select the length of the belts so that they do not press
onto the operator’s body, but at the same time do not move during operation. The grass trimmer can also be suspended on a
harness or belt other than that supplied with the device, provided the device can be hung on the belt or harness without any
clamping modi fi cation.
Suspend the grass trimmer passing the belt or harness catch through the clamp eye. Ensure that the safety spring is back in its
original position. This will prevent the device from detaching from the harness or belt.
Then select the handle angle and position. To do this, loosen the fi xing knob and position the handle so as to ensure full freedom
of movement during work, and both handles are positioned not to cause excessive strain. Hands should be bent in elbows. The
cutting element should move parallel to the ground.
You can change the clamp position if necessary. To do this, loosen the screw (VII), move the clamp, and then tighten the screw to
lock the clamp preventing its movement. Select the clamp position so that it is just behind the centre of gravity of the suspended
grass trimmer; this will cause the cutting element to be inclined towards the ground by itself.
Disconnect the grass trimmer from the harness or belt. Remove the belt or harness.
Depending on the cutting element chosen, install the spool with the cutting line or metal blade.
Caution! Due to the risk of injury, wear protective gloves while installing the blade. Fix the blade with an applied guard.
When installing the spool with the cutting line, install the upper fi xing fl ange, and then blocking the rotation of the spindle, screw
on the spool with the cutting line (VIII).
In case of the blade installation, put the upper fi xing fl ange on the spindle. Place the cutting blade on the fl ange so that the hole in
the blade fi ts the protruding part of the fi xing fl ange (IX).
Place the lower fi xing fl ange. Blocking the spindle rotation, tighten the fi xing fl anges and the disc in between fi rmly and securely (X).
Connecting to the power supply
Two batteries power the device. The device will not start up if one of the batteries is not installed or is discharged. The device’s
batteries are connected in a series, which means that the device is supplied with the sum of their rated voltages. It is recommend-
ed that both batteries have the same capacity and are equally charged. The batteries used to power the device should also be
equally used. It is not recommended to connect an exhausted battery with a new one, even if both are equally charged and have
the same capacity. Failure to comply with the above recommendations will result in a shorter operating time, and faster wear of
the batteries used to power the device.
Only the following 18 V Li-Ion YATO batteries can be used to power the device: YT-82842, YT-82843, YT-82844 and YT-82845,
which can only be charged with YATO YT-82848 or YT-82849 chargers. It is forbidden to use other batteries with a di ff erent rated
voltage and not matching the device battery socket. It is forbidden to modify the socket or battery to make them match.
Slide the charged batteries into the guides of the battery socket so that the battery latch holds it in place (XI). Check whether any
battery does not slide out of the device socket by itself.
Starting the grass trimmer (XII)
Connect both batteries to the grass trimmer. Install the harness or belt and attach the grass trimmer. Grasp the grass trimmer han-
dles with two hands. Make sure that the cutting element does not come into contact with any object or ground. The right handle is
equipped with the power switch and a safety lock to prevent starting the grass trimmer by accidentally pressing the power switch.
Grasp the handle in such a way that the hand presses and holds the lock in this position, and then press and hold the power
switch. The cutting element will start rotating.
The grass trimmer stops when the pressure on the power switch is released. After releasing the pressure on the power switch, the
cutting element will keep rotating for some time. The grass trimmer can be detached from the harness and put aside only after the
cutting element has completely stopped
Preparing the workplace
Before commencing work, prepare the workplace. Designate a safety zone with a radius of at least 15 m from the workplace,
which will be inaccessible to unauthorised persons. Ensure that there are no obstacles around the workplace that could cause the
operator or grass trimmer collision during work.
Working with the grass trimmer
Only start working when the cutting element reaches full speed.
When working, hold the grass trimmer so that the cutting element always moves parallel to the ground.
