•  Always stop the engine before attempting to remove objects that may have stuck on the blade.
•  Never touch or try to stop the blade while it is still spinning.
•  A rotating blade may cause damage, as it continues to spin after the engine has stopped or the gas has been turned off. Always be in control of the tool until the blade has stopped spinning.
•  Always make sure that the blade is mounted securely and correctly before every time is used.
•  Only use a sharp blade. Replace blades that are worn or damaged.
• Only use original spare parts.
• Only use the blade for weeds, grass and similar.
•  Throw back is something that may occur when the rotating blade gets into contact with something, it cannot cut. This contact may have the effect, which the blade stops for a moment, and suddenly the tool is thrown away from the hard object that was hit. This reaction may be so violent that the user loses control of the tool. Throw back may occur without warning if the blade is stuck, loses speed or impeded. This is most likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material that is being cut.
•  The harness must always be used and adjusted to fit in the correct manner.
• Keep a firm grip on both handles while the blade is running. Keep the blade away from your body and below your waist.
•  See Fig. 7 for working direction for trimmer head and with blade.

Tips and advice

Trimming.
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the line that does the work. Let the line work at its own pace. Never press the line into the area to be cut.

Cutting.

The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the line parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool. Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting, as this can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head. Only bump the trimmer head against the ground to release more nylon line

Sweeping.

The fan effect of the rotating line can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the line parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the trimmer head from right to left and opposite. When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results.

3-tooth blade.
It is used to cut through dense vegetation,

Rewinding the spool

Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool. See Fig. 9 The spool is supplied with the nylon line on it. When need to rewind the spool with new nylon line, follow these steps:

• Press each side of cord housing. Remove lid.
• Remove roll by pulling. Allow spring to remain on spool. Remove any cord residue. Take 3-4 m of cord (2.4 mm) and double it up.
•  Insert both ends into the 2 holes on the roll. Wind cord onto roll in direction of arrow. Avoid twisting cord. When twine is fully on roll, cut and insert the two cut ends through the guide holes.
•  Assemble cord housing in reverse order, starting with spring. Place cord in cord housing holes.
•  Re-place cover. Check cover is secure.

Always ensure trimmer head is secured tightly. NEVER OVERFILL THE SPOOL WITH LINE!

Maintenance

• Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool.
•  Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.
•  Clean the housing and other parts with a soft brush and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

Lubrication of brushcutter gear

The gear is lubricated from the factory, but for every 30-hour operation grease must be refilled. Top up with grease type: EP-0 using a grease gun (not included) on the lubrication nipple.

Lubrication of saw chain

•  Place saw on a flat surface
•  Remove the lid.
• Add chain oil in the pruner container (top up).

Depending on the conditions you should add chain oil for every 30-45 minutes of use, so check oil level often. If the polesaw is used without chain oil, the chain will be damaged.

Lubrication of hedge trimmer gear

The gearbox is lubricated from the factory, but for every 30-hour operation Grease must be refilled. Top up with grease type: EP-0 using a grease gun (not included) on
the lubrication nipple. See fig. 10 The blades must be kept lubricated to prevent friction and to extend the durability.
