GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
A void body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-ing into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ASSEMBLY

Cut injury when the unit starts accidentally. Before you assemble the unit, make sure that the mains cable is disconnected.

Assembling the housing (Fig. A, B, C)

Insert the lower housing (7) into the upper housing (6), as shown on ﬁgure B. Ensure that the cable is not stretched or caught when you do this.
Secure both housing parts using the housing screws (10), as shown on ﬁgure C. Use a screw on both sides of the housing.

Mounting the protection guard (Fig. A, D)

Put the protection guard (8) onto the lower hou-sing (7) by ﬁrst putting the guard into the notch (12) and afterwards pulling the guard upwards.
Now secure the protection guard using the pro-tection guard screw (11). A correctly assembled protection guard is shown on ﬁgure D.

Replacing the wire spool (Fig. F1)

Before replacing the spool clean the machine from any dirt.

Remove the spool cover (14) by pressing the two buttons on each side of the spool cover.
Take out the spool reel (15) but leave the spring (16) inside.
Take the new spool reel (GT802AA) and place it over the spring (16). Make sure the wires are passed through the holes inside the spool holder (17).
Cover the new spool reel with the spool cover (14) and make sure the buttons of the spool cover (14) align properly with the holes inside the spool holder (17).

OPERATION

Using the tap and go system (Fig. A, D)
To enable the tap and go system, the plastic cover in front of the blade (13) in the protection guard (8) must be removed.
Do not touch the blade (13) in the protection guard (8) to prevent injury.

When the wire is too short, switch the machine on and press the tip of the spool reel (15) on the ground (make sure this is done on a hard surface).
This will release the wire in order to get longer.
The wire will be cut on the correct length automatically by the blade (13) mounted in the protection guard (8).

Using the cord grip (ﬁg. A, E)
To help secure the plug to the extension cord, make a loop in the extension cord and attach it to the cable hook as shown (see Fig. E). Once secure, attach the cord to the plug. This will prevent acci-dental ‘pull-out’.

Using the trimmer

Before use, always visually inspect the machine and its parts are correctly mounted, not worn out or damaged.
Hold the unit by the top part of the handle (1) and the front handle (4) so that the trimmer head is tilted a small distance forward. Make sure, the ﬁlament does not touch hard objects such as walls, stones and fences to prevent the ﬁlament from welding together or breaking.

Switching On and Off (ﬁg. A)

To switch the trimmer on, press the on/off switch (2).
To switch off, simply release the on/off switch (2).

MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying out maintenance work on the motor.

The machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of mainte-nance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning.

Turn off the power and pull out the plug before you clean and store the machine.
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Clean the housing and other parts with a mild cleanser and moist cloth.
Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
