NOISE DATA

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Uncertainty K=1.5m/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 which the tool is used dependant on the following  examples and other variations    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 thejob. This may significantly reduce the exposure levelover 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. Intended Use The machine is intended for the cutting of grass and weeds under bushes, as well as on slopes and edges that can not be reached with the lawn mower.
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 foreign metallic objects into your charger or Battery Pack connections because of electrical failure and other hazards that will occur.
WARNING! Always wear the eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. When operating unit, check for the following: Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold front handle with one hand and Auxiliary Handle with the other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.
WARNING! Make sure that line is fed out before operation. Make sure motor is up to full speed before trimming or edging.
WARNING! Only use 1.65mm diameter cutting line. Other sizes of line will not feed properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other material such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous projectile that can cause serious injury.

WORKING HINTS

1. AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
   When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the lines hit the Line Cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED. This is quite normal. After about 5 seconds the line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor gains full speed. If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard, more line will need to be fed out. To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely; it must come to a complete rest, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed. Repeat above until you hear the line hitting against the Line Cutter.

2. MANUALLY FEEDING THE LINE (SEE FIG. H)
   Press and release manual line feed button (13), whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines reaches the line cutter. If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line has been fed out. If too much line is fed out, remove the cutting head cover and rotate the spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

STORING YOUR GRASS TRIMMER
Always remove the battery pack from your trimmer after use.
Store in a dry place where the trimmer and battery can be protected from damage.
