Line Trimmer Assembly

Installing the Trimmer Guard
The trimmer guard is an essential part of the line trimmer and must ALWAYS be used to prevent damage to the trimmer and injury to the operator. The guard is not attached to the trimmer when it is delivered to avoid damage in transit. To attach the guard, loosen and remove the 4 screws from the underside of motor housing (see Figure 1). Place the guard on the motor housing 1, and align the bores vertically. Screw in the 4 screws and tighten 7

Attaching the Running Wheel
Insert the running wheel into the holder on the left side of motor housing and press, until it clicks (see Figure 2). To dismantle, the retaining tab may be opened with a suitable tool.

Attaching the Plant Guard
The plant guard protects shrubs, trees and bedding plants. Insert the plant guard into the holes of motor housing (see Figure 3). The plant guard can be folded up when it is not needed (see Figure 4).

Assembling and adjusting the shoulder belt
Open retaining hook and hook onto the fastening eye on the housing (see Figure 5). Adjust the shoulder belt to your height (see Figure 6).

Set the shaft length
Adjust the trimmer length to the height of the user (see Figure 7). Loosen the threaded sleeve on the shaft coupling 1 1 . Extend the lower shaft until the ideal handle length is reached ? . Tighten the threaded sleeve .

Set the handlebar
Adjust the handlebar to the height of the user (see Figure 8). Loosen the locking lever on the handlebar 1 . Set the handlebar to the required position 2 . Secure the handlebar by folding down the locking lever.

Set the operating angle
Five operating angles can be adjusted on the lawn trimmer (See Figure 9). This allows you to easily reach places in the garden which are problematic and difficult to access. The cutting head should always be parallel to the ground. Press the locking button 1 . Set the required operating angle 2 ‘. Release the locking button.

Inserting/Replacing the Battery

Overview Of  Component

Operation

Clearance cutting
The cutting head is guided parallel to the ground. When clearance cutting, guide the lawn trimmer in a semi-circle in front of your body.

Edge cutting
The edge cutting function allows you to trim precisely and comfortably along the edge of the lawn.

Changing the operating mode
1. Press downwards and hold the locking button on the shaft coupling 1 (see Figure 11 ). Turn the lower shaft by 90° i . The arrow on the locking button coincides with the arrow on the shaft coupling. Release the locking button j . Check latching by slightly twisting!

Switching the Line Trimmer ON
First press and hold the switch interlock i . Then press the On/ Off switch 2 (see Figure 12).

Switching the Line Trimmer OFF
Release the On/Off switch (see Figure 13).

CAUTION

Automatic line advance
You can advance the cutting line without stopping the motor. To advance more cutting line, gently tap the cutting head on the ground while running the lawn trimmer (see Figure 14). The line blade in the guard cuts the line back to the correct length if too much cutting line is advanced. It is best to bounce the cutting head on bare ground or hard earth.

2. Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground and make sweeping movements from side to side. Walk slowly forwards.
3. Use only the tip of the line for cutting, especially along walls. If more than the tip is used for cutting, the cutting capacity is reduced and the engine may overload.
4. Cut grass which is taller than 20 cm from the top down in small stages to prevent premature wear of the line and engine resistance.
5. Cut dry grass and weeds only.
6. The trim line may break by becoming entangled with foreign objects, normal material fatigue, attempting to cut thick-stalked weeds, striking walls, garden fences, etc.
