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, align the opening in the guard with the underside of the trimmer head (see Figure 2), and secure with four screws in four places.

Attaching the Plant Guard
Insert the plant guard into the holes of motor housing (see Figure 3).

Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Charge the battery as described in the charger operation manual. Attach the charged battery into the power tool by positioning, aligning and then sliding the battery into the power receptacle on the line trimmer until it clicks into place (see Figure 4).

CAUTION
Protect the battery contacts when the battery is not being used. Metal objects may short-circuit the contacts and pose
both an explosion and fire hazard

overview ot components

Operation
The line trimmer is ready to operate once the battery is installed. To operate press and hold the safety switch at the same time as the ON/OFF switch (see Figure 5). To turn the line trimmer off, release’ the ON/OFF switch.

Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground and make sweeping movements from side to side. Walk slowly forwards. 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 motor may overload. Cut tall grass in two or more passes from the top down to prevent premature wear of the line and motor resistance. Cut dry grass and weeds only. The trim line may break by becoming entangled with foreign objects, with normal wear, by attempting to cutthick-stalked weeds, or by striking walls, garden fences, etc.

Automatic Line Release
You can release the cutting line without stopping the motor. To release more cutting line, gently tap the cutting head on the ground while running the line trimmer. The line blade in the guard cuts the line back to the correct length if too much cutting line is released. It is best to bounce the cutting head on bare ground or hard earth.

LED Battery Indicator
The battery state indicator shows the capacity of the battery. The indicator goes out after 5 seconds. If one of the LEDs flashes, the battery must be recharged. If none of the LEDs light up after the button is pressed, the battery is faulty and should be replaced.
Work instructions

Attach the shoulder belt to the unit. Pull the shoulder belt over your head. Hold the unit with both hands: one hand on the rear handle, the other hand on the handlebar. Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground and make sweeping movements from side to side as you walk slowly forwards. 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. Cut grass which is taller than 7.87″ 120 cm) from the top down in small stages to prevent premature wear of the line and engine resistance. Cut dry grass and weeds only.
