handle. Only then, connect the plug to the socket of the extension cord (X). This will minimise the risk of pulling the power cord
from the grass trimmer housing, e.g. in the event of a sudden jerk.
Starting and stopping the grass trimmer
Make sure that the grass trimmer has been connected to the power supply, a guard has been removed from the cutting element
guard blade, and the cutting element does not come into contact with any body part or other objects.
Adopt a posture which guarantees balance. Grasp the front handle with one hand. Grasp the rear handle with the other hand.
Press and hold the power switch lock in this position, then press the power switch; the grass trimmer will turn on. The power switch
cannot be locked in the on position. After turning on the grass trimmer, release the pressure on the power switch lock.
The grass trimmer stops when the pressure on the power switch is released. The cutting element can rotate for some time after
the motor is stopped. It is forbidden to stop the cutting element by pressing the spool against the ground or against another object.
After the cutting element has come to a complete stop, unplug the grass trimmer from the power supply by unplugging the power
cord plug from the mains socket. Next, proceed with maintenance.
Operating the grass trimmer
Do not allow the device to operate at low speed or during start-up.
It is recommended to move the grass trimmer from right to left during work. Avoid trimming by moving the grass trimmer from left
to right. This will allow the operator to avoid ejected mowed grass residues during mowing.
Avoid mowing shrubs and bushes. Operating the grass trimmer near trees may damage the bark. Hitting the stones, bricks, brick-
works, or other similar surfaces with the line may lead to the line’s very fast wear.
Avoid trimming with the upper right quarter of the blade (XI). This will prevent the grass trimmer from kickback towards the operator
if the cutting element is blocked during operation.
The guide wheel can be used in two ways. If the grass trimmer is used for edge trimming, the wheel allows for guiding the device
on the ground (XII). In the case of standard grass mowing, the wheel determines the range of the line at the front of the grass
trimmer. This reduces damage to, for example, the walls of the building when mowing the lawn.
Working tips
Maintain balance and proper posture during work. Exercise particular caution when working on a slippery, inclined, or uneven
surface.
Continuously monitor the cutting element during work. Do not mow in places which are out of sight.
Before starting work, inspect the workplace thoroughly, remove all loose branches and residues from the previous mowing.
Take regular breaks when working. During operation, the tool emits noise and vibration, which impact the tool’s operator. Taking
regular breaks and wearing personal protective equipment such as gloves, hearing protectors and eye protection allows to reduce
the impact of the tool on the operator’s well-being.
Start work when healthy and in good shape. In case of nausea, headache, sight problems (e.g., reduced visual range), hearing
problems, or dizziness, immediately stop operating the tool.
Mow high grass gradually from above; this will reduce the risk of the grass mowed being wound on the spool with the line.
Try to mow the grass only with the line end; this will reduce the risk of the grass mowed being wound on the spool with the line.
If, during operation, any part of the trimmer or guard is damaged or deformed, replace or repair it before resuming work.
The head with the line allows for automatic line unwinding. If the grass trimming width decreases this may mean that the line is
not unwound to the full length. If this is the case, carefully tap the head on the ground so that the button located in the middle of
the head is pressed. This will unwind the line which will be cut to the appropriate length by the blade in the cutting element guard.
Do not rest the grass trimmer on the head on the ground for too long, as this may wear out of the line wound on the spool located
in the head.
Replacing the line
Warning! Make sure that the power cord plug of the grass trimmer has been disconnected from mains socket before replacing
the line.
Prepare a section of the line with the length and diameter as provided in the table. Then remove the spool guard cover by simul-
taneously pressing both cover lock buttons (XIII). Remove the spool and then clean it and the inside of the cutting head. There is
a spring under the spool; make sure not to lose it.
If the spool has a safety band, it must be removed before winding the line. Pass the line in the middle of the length through the
notch in the spool’s middle fl ange (XIV). Then tightly wind the ends of the line on the spool in the direction indicated by the arrow
on the spool. Leave a few centimetres of the line for each end, which should then be passed through the gaps in the safety band,
and then through the holes in the cutting head (XV).
Install the spring and spool into the cutting head and secure with the cover.
