• Do not use the string trimmer if the protective guards are damaged.

• Remove from the work area all stones, metal pieces, roots, other hard items and plastic bags, nylon string and other items that cannot be cut up.

• Prior to starting the string trimmer, make sure that the nylon cutting edge is not touching stones or fragments.

• Always keep your hands away from the cutting area, especially when starting the motor.

• Protect yourself against injury caused by the cutting edge at the length of the trimming line. After spooling on a new trimming line, always return the string trimmer to its normal operating position before starting it.

WARNING

STARTING THE TRIMMER

• POINTS TO CHECK BEFORE STARTING WORK

1. Check whether any screws, nuts and installation elements are loose. Tighten any loose screws.
2. Make sure that the plastic head guard is securely fastened in place.
3. Check the string trimmer head for damage.

WARNING

• Before starting the trimmer, make sure the string trimmer head can move freely and is not touching any
  foreign objects.

• Hold the string trimmer firmly with both hands. Always stand so that your body is on the left of the shaft
  tube. Never hold the handle with crossed arms. These instructions also apply to left-handers.

ATTENTION: Exposure to vibrations may damage the health of persons that suffer from circulatory or nerve
system problems. If any physical problems become evident, such as desensitisation, loss of sensitivity, loss of
usual strength or changes in skin colour, please contact a doctor. These systems usually manifest themselves on
fingers, hands or wrists.

STARTING THE TRIMMER

Press the trigger safety lock (Fig 1, point 3, and then press the main start/stop switch, Fig 2, point 2

TURN OFF THE MOTOR

Release the start/stop trigger (fig. 1, point 2).

CUTTING

WARNING!

When working with any string trimmer or brush cutter model, there is a danger of deflecting stones, metal or small objects and the cut material. Carefully read all the safety directives.

Follow all the instructions provided in this user’s manual.

WARNING!

Use head, eye, face and hearing protection. Use appropriate footwear that will protect your feet and which will
ensure a firm stance on slippery surfaces. Do not wear ties, jewellery or loose clothing that could become caught
in the moving parts of the tool. Do not wear footwear with an open tip. Do not work barefoot or with bare legs. In
certain situations you must use full face and head protection.

Take care to avoid recoil and jamming of the blade.

DANGER ZONE

NOBODY APART FROM THE OPERATOR MAY ENTER THE DANGER ZONE OF A 15 METRE RADIUS. THE OPERATOR MUST USE APPROPRIATE EYE, HEARING, FACE, FOOT, LEG AND BODY PROTECTION. PERSONS LOCATED IN THE DANGER ZONE OR IN THE RISK ZONE AFTER THE DANGER ZONE MUST USE EYE PROTECTION AGAINST DEFLECTED OBJECTS. THE RISK IS REDUCED WITH INCREASING DISTANCE FROM THE DANGER ZONE.

CUTTING WITH THE NYLON STRING TRIMMER HEAD

• The string trimmer head rotates CLOCKWISE.
• The trimmer line is extended out semi-automatically. While trimming, simply gently tap the head on the
  ground, which will push down the button on the underside of the head and the string trimmer line will slide
  out. The string trimmer line is then shortened to the maximum permitted length on the blade integrated in the plastic guard.

TRIMMING GRASS

• During this activity, carefully move the trimmer into the material that you wish to trim. Slowly tilt the head so
  that the trimmed material is ejected away from you. If you are trimming all the way up to obstacles such as
  fences, walls and trees, then approach at such an angle that all material is ejected away from you. Slowly
  move the head with the nylon string trimmer line from right to left until the grass is trimmed all the way to the obstacle but avoid the string trimmer line coming into contact with the obstacle.

• When trimming in the vicinity of a wire fence or enclosure, proceed carefully so as not to come into contact
  with the wires. If you exceed the minimum distance from the fence, the string trimmer line will be shortened after impact.

• When cutting weeds, it is possible to cut one stem at a time. Place the trimmer head with string trimmer line
  at the bottom part of the weed – never the top because the stem may start quivering and the string trimmer
  line may become caught in it. Rather than attempting to cut the weed directly, it is better to use only the end of the string trimmer line and to cut the stem slowly.

CLEARING AND TRIMMING EDGES

• Both these tasks are performed using the head with the nylon line tilted at large angle. Clearing means removing the top vegetation after which only soil remains.
• Trimming edges means trimming the grass at the edge of lawns that extends on to footpaths and roads.
• While clearing and trimming edges, hold the tool at a steep angle and in a position where dirt, cut material
  and stones will not be ejected backwards towards you in the event that they ricochet from a hard surface.
  Despite the pictures showing how to perform clearing and trimming of edges, every user must find their own position that will suit their body dimensions and working conditions.

WARNING

If a head with a nylon line is used, the correct protective guard must be fitted. If the nylon line extends out too far,
it may start fluttering. If you use a head with a nylon line, always use the protective plastic guard with the cutter
blade.

WARNING

Be very careful when working above soil or gravel because the nylon line may deflect small stones at a very high
speed.

The protective guard on this tool cannot stop objects that ricochet off hard surfaces.

WARNING

Do not trim in places where there are wires and wire mesh. Use protective aids. Do not trim in locations where
you cannot see what the trimmer is trimming.

MAINTENANCE

• The string trimmer line may dry out over time. To maintain it in excellent condition, store spare pre-wound spools or loose trimmer line in a plastic bag with a spoon of water.
• For cleaning the power tool, use only gentle soap and a damp cloth. Do not submerge the power tool in water or spray it with a hose. Do not allow any liquid to enter inside. Do not clean with pressurised water.
• The trimmer line cutter on the edge of the protective guard may become blunt over time. We recommend that it is regularly rehappened with a file.
