NOISE DATA

• A weighted sound pressure LpA = 75.8 dB(A)
• KpA 3.0 dB(A)
• A weighted sound power LwA = 90.2 dB(A)
• KwA 3.0 dB(A)
• Wear ear protection.

VIBRATION INFORMATION

• Typical weighted vibration ah <2.5 m/s2
• Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependent on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:

How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool being in good condition and well maintained The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.

ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate) If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

Fivegreen lights ( ) are illuminated.| The two batteries are in a highly charged condition.
Two, three or four green lights are illuminated.| The two batteries have a remaining charge.The more lights are illuminated, the more battery capacity.
Only one green

light is illuminated.

| At least one battery is almost depleted and needs to be charged.
No light is illuminated.| At least one battery is not fully installed or battery may be defective.
Only one light is flashing twice per cycle.| At least one battery is over discharged (please refer to the battery charge condition), please recharge the two batteries at once before use again or storage.
Only one light is flashing three times per cycle.| At least one battery is hot, wait for them cool down before start again.
Only one light is flashing four times per cycle.| The machine is over load. Raise the cutting height or push slowly.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! The charger and battery pack are specially designed to work together so do not attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery pack connections because of an electrical failure and hazard will occur.

AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out.
A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard for a short time. This is normal and is caused by the line being cut by the line cutter. Once the line is cut to the correct length, the ‘clattering’ noise will stop and the trimmer motor will run at full speed.
To feed more line, stop the trimmer completely, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed. Repeat this until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line cutting. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)

MANUALLY FEEDING THE LINE (See Fig. H) Press and release manual line feed button, whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines reaches the line cutter. When the required amount of line is fed out, gently pull on the second line (there is no need to press the manual line feed button again). If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line has been fed out. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap and rotate the spool anticlockwise until the line is at the desired length.

Removing the Cap (See Fig. I)
Press and hold in the two latches. Pull the spool cap away from the Cutting Head. Keep the cap and spool holder clean from debris. To replace the cap, press it firmly towards the spool holder. Ensure that it is correctly connected by trying to remove it without depressing the two latches.

Changing the Line Spool (See Fig. K, L)
First take off the cap and remove the old spool. Place new spool into cutting head. Feed one line through the eyelet, then repeat for second line (See Fig. L). Release line from cleat on the Spool. Reattach the cap.
WARNING! Your Trimmer is designed to only use line with a maximum diameter of 0.065”(1.65mm). Only use nylon line.
IMPORTANT – Always wind the line onto the upper section of the spool first.

Manually winding the line (See Fig. M, N, O, P)

Take approximately 5 m line and insert 15 mm of line into one of the holes in the upper section of the spool. Wind the line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the spool.
Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and place it into the cleat. Repeat on the lower section of spool. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed. Then fit the spool as described above in “Changing the Line Spool”.

STORING YOUR GRASS TRIMMER

Always remove the battery pack from your trimmer after use.
To store your GRASS trimmer
The trimmer is provided with a hanging slot for storing the trimmer on the wall. (See Fig. Q)

Store in a dry place where the trimmer and battery can be protected from damage.

MAINTENANCE

Always remove the battery pack from your trimmer after use.
Always check the product prior to being used for any damage.

After use, disconnect the battery from the tool and check for damage.

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry room temperature location. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
