5. Before starting the equipment
5.1. Assembling the grass trimmer (Figures 3a-
4b)
Plug together the top and bottom handlebar (Fig.
3a). Make sure that the spring-loaded ball (Fig.
3a/Item A) engages correctly.
Screw together the handlebar connection (Fig.
3b).
Fit the guard hood (12) onto the motor head (Fig.
4a).
Fasten the guard hood (12) with a screw (14)
(Fig. 4b).
5.2. Height adjustment (Fig. 5)
You can set your optimal working position by
adjusting the height.
Press the lock for the handlebar adjustment (6)
and keep it pressed.
Move the handlebar to one of the three locking
positions and release the lock (6).
Move the handlebar back and forth to ensure that
the lock is correctly engaged.
5.3. Adjusting the additional handle:
Place the grass trimmer on a firm surface. Undo the
lock of the additional handle (Fig. 5/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 fully automatic line extension
system. If the line of the grass trimmer is reduced to a
diameter of approx. 280 mm due to certain works, the
line is automatically extended to maximum cutting
width (approx. 350 mm). This ensures that you can
cut you lawn with the perfect cutting width at all times.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the first 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 machine for
the first 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
observe the following instructions:
앬 Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
앬 Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results
are had on dry grass.
앬 Connect the power cable to an extension cable
and hook the extension cable on the handle
(Figure 9).
앬 To switch on your grass trimmer press the safety
lock-off (Figure 1 Item 4) and then press the
ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 3).
앬 To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 3).
앬 Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the
trimmer is running.
앬 For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, holding
it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so (see
Figure 10 and Figure 11).
앬 Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 12).
앬 Make full use of the edge guide and the guide
hood in order to avoid unnecessary line wear
(see Figure 13 and Figure 14).
앬 Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects
in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer (Fig.
10)
To cut he edges of lawns and flower beds, the grass
trimmer can be converted as follows:
Press the lock for the handlebar adjustment (6)
and keep it pressed.
Turn the handlebar through 180° to the left and
release the lock (6).
Move the handlebar back and forth to ensure that
the lock is correctly engaged.
The height adjustment works here too as
described in section 5.2.
Now you have converted the grass trimmer to an
edge trimmer for cutting the lawn vertically (Fig.
10).
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
