Wire guard installation

To prevent foreign object damage to the trimming head, the wire guard must be properly installed.

1. Carefully pull apart the wire guard’s tongs (Fig. D1) and insert them into the slots in the trimming

head.

2. Move the wire guard into the down position (Fig. D2). Make sure the tongs sit well in their slots.

3. If you will not be using the wire guard, move it to the up position (Fig. D3).

Note: Pulling the tongs too far apart may damage the wire guard.

Installation and replacement of the protective cover

Warning: Before each use, make sure that the cover is ﬁrmly attached and does not show signs

of damage. Otherwise, replace it with an original spare part.

1. Installation Place the protective cover on the trimming head (Fig. E1) so that the holes in the cov-

er align with the holes in the head. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten with a screwdriver

(Fig. E2). Make sure that the screws are fully tightened and that the cover does not move.

2. Replacement: Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws and remove them. Carefully remove the

protective cover. Then proceed as in step 1 above.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Before preparing for use, make sure that the trimmer is turned off and the battery is removed.

Adjusting the height of the front handle

The front handle can be moved up or down so that you can easily reach it and comfortably handle

the trimmer.

1. Loosen the thumb nut clockwise (Fig. F1).

2. Adjust the height of the front handle by sliding it up or down (Fig. F2)

3. Tighten the thumb nut counterclockwise until you feel resistance. Always make sure the thumb

nut is fully tightened.

Horizontal angle adjustment

Adjust the horizontal angle of the trimmer head according to the needs of the working environment.

You can adjust the horizontal angle in four discrete steps spanning a range of 72°.

1. Turn the knob clockwise (Fig. G1) until it aligns with the open lock symbol.

2. Adjust the horizontal angle (Fig. G2).

3. Once you have adjusted the trimming head angle, turn the knob counterclockwise until it aligns

with the closed lock symbol. Always make sure the trimming head is secured.

Vertical angle adjustment

Adjust the vertical angle of the trimmer head when using the trimmer to mow the edges of the lawn.

You can set the vertical angle in a 45° range.

1. Pull the trimming head away from the lock (Fig. H) and turn the whole assembly of the head and

USE

17ENGLISH

motor unit clockwise to the required angle.

2. The lock will automatically reengage and secure the trimming head. Always make sure the trim-

ming head is secured.

Nylon string

The nylon string should extend as needed on each start of the motor; if it does not, extend it manually.

The nylon string head has a feed mechanism. If you need to extend the string, strike the trimming

head against the ground when the tool is running. As the string extends, the integrated cutter auto-

matically trims it to the proper length.

When striking the head on the ground, use a level of force appropriate to the materials it is made of.

Excessive force may damage the string head or the trimmer as a whole.

OPERATION

Intended use

This grass trimmer is designed for personal use for mowing grass in gardens, e.g. around rocks, un-

der benches and trees, and in hard-to-reach places. Do not use it for commercial or other purposes.

Switching On/Off

Before switching on the trimmer, make sure that:

• It is correctly assembled;

• All fuses are properly secured and all bolts and nuts are fully tightened;

• The battery packs are inserted correctly;

• The battery packs are fully charged.

For safety reasons, the grass trimmer is ﬁtted with a safety lock that prevents unintentional starting.

To start the trimmer, ﬁrst press the safety catch and then press the on/off switch (Fig. I). The trimmer

will start.

As soon as you release the switch, the trimmer automatically shuts off and operation stops.

Warning: After switching off the trimmer, always wait until the nylon string has come to a com-

plete stop.

Never use the trimmer if it only starts when the switch is pressed. In this case, contact an authorized

service centre. The safety fuse is damaged.

Warning: Do not disable the safety fuse or attempt to bypass the safety system. Do not attempt

to force the switch without ﬁrst depressing the safety catch.

Mowing grass

Hold the trimmer ﬁrmly with both hands at an angle of about 50° to the ground.

Stand upright and stable when handling the trimmer. Move slowly from side to side. Cut grass blades

from their tops to their bottoms (Fig. J1). Keep your balance throughout the mowing operation. Al-

ways be conﬁdent when standing on slopes and walking. Never run.

Do not allow the nylon string to touch the ground or any obstacles (Fig. J2); this could damage it. Do

not use the grass trimmer to dig or burrow into the ground (Fig. J3).

Do not lean, bend or stand on one leg, etc.

Warning: Do not try to mow long or thick grass in one cut (Fig. J4). Tall grass can wrap around

the trimmer head, jam and cause the motor unit to overheat. This could damage the trimmer.

Mowing grass around trees, blocks, walls, stones, etc.

Raise and tilt the trimmer so that the nylon string does not touch the ground (Fig. J5). Mow the grass

at short intervals from top to bottom.

Carefully mow the grass around trees or other obstacles to avoid contact between the obstacle and

USE

18 ENGLISH

the trimmer blades. We recommend keeping a safe distance of 5 cm from a tree or other obstacle.

If necessary, adjust the extension of the wire guard. If the nylon string comes into contact with a tree

or other obstacle, it may fray or snap. Gently strike the trimming head against the ground to extend

the string.

Mowing the edges of the lawn

By adjusting the vertical angle, you can use the trimmer to mow the edges of the lawn.

For greater comfort while trimming, you may wish to install the side castor. It attaches directly to the

trimming head (Fig. J6).

If you will not be using the castor, carefully detach it by pulling it upward.

Adjust the horizontal and vertical angles as required – see the previous section.

Set the castor on the ground and slowly roll the trimmer down the lawn or along a wall or other ob-

stacle (Fig. J7).

It is important to always adjust the vertical angle so that the trimmer head faces away from the oper-

ator.

Overload protection

If you use the trimmer or battery in a way that causes abnormally high power draw, the trimmer will

automatically stop; there is no warning indicator. If this happens, release the switch to turn off the

trimmer and stop the operation that caused it to overload. Then turn it on again.

Overheating protection

If the trimmer or battery overheats, the trimmer will automatically stop. If this happens, release the

switch to turn off the trimmer and let the trimmer and the battery cool down. Then turn it on again.

Protection against excessive discharge

If the charge status drops excessively, the trimmer will automatically stop. If this happens, release the

switch to turn off the trimmer. Remove the battery packs and charge them.

Note: Overload, overheating and over-discharge protection are the trimmer and battery safety sys-

tems that protect them from damage. Do not attempt to bypass or modify these security features.

There is a risk of serious injury or death.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Warning: Before any maintenance or cleaning of the trimmer, always make sure it is switched

off and the battery packs are removed.

The user must only carry out the maintenance and cleaning described in this manual. For any other

maintenance, cleaning or adjustment, contact an authorized service centre.

Clean the trimmer after each use. This will ensure its long life.

Remove dust and dirt from the trimmer. Turn the trimmer upside down and remove any grass clip-

pings from the nylon string, the trimmer head, the inside of the guard and the wire guard.

If the trimmer is heavily soiled, wipe it with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Warning: Do not immerse any part of the trimmer in water or other liquids. Do not use a hose

or pressure washer for cleaning. Do not expose the trimmer to dripping or splashing water.

Remove any dirt from the ventilation holes. Use a dry cloth. Never allow water to enter the ventilation

holes. There is a risk of damage to the motor unit.

Warning: Do not use petrol, thinner, alcohol or other similar substances for cleaning. There is

a risk of deformation, cracking, or damage to the ﬁnish.

Warning: Only use manufacturer-recommended nylon string in 1.6 mm thickness. Do not use

USE

19ENGLISH

nylon string of different thickness, metal wire, rope, etc. This may damage the trimmer, and

such damage is not covered by warranty. There is a risk of serious injury.

Warning: Make sure the head cover is ﬁrmly attached, as described below. Otherwise, the ny-

lon string may be ﬂung away from the trimmer at high speed, sufﬁcient to cause serious injury.

clicks into place (Fig. K7).

Storage

Before storing, make sure that the trimmer is switched off, clean (especially the area around the trim-

mer head and string), and that the battery packs are removed from the motor unit.

The grass trimmer can be hung on a wall. Proceed as follows:

1. Adjust the horizontal angle of the trimmer head so that the trimmer ﬁts more easily against the

wall.

2. Hang the trimmer on the wall either by the wire guard or hang it by the catch at the back of the

handle.
