6. Before starting the equipment

6.1 Assembling the grass trimmer (Fig. 3a-3e)

Take the screw set out of the additional handle (Fig.2/Item 4). Fit the additional handle (Fig. 3a/Item 4) to the top handle (Fig. 3a/Item 7). Secure the additional handle with the screw (Fig. 3a/Item A) and star nut (Fig. 3b/Item 5). Fasten the distance bracket (Fig. 3a/Item 9) as shown in Figure 3a with the two screws (Fig. 3c/Item 14). Place the guard hood (Fig. 3d/Item 12) onto the motor housing as shown in Figure 3d and secure with the screw (Fig. 3d/Item 14). Slide the guide wheels (Fig. 3e/Item 10) onto the motor housing as shown in Figure 3e. Make sure that there is an audible click when they engage.

6.2 Height adjustment (Fig. 4)

You can set your optimal working position by adjusting the height. Undo the lock for the handlebar adjustment (Figure 4/Item 6). Pull out the bottom handlebar (Figure 4/Item 8) to the required length. Refasten the lock for the handlebar adjustment (Figure 4/Item 6).

6.3 Adjusting the additional handle:

Place the grass trimmer on a firm surface. Undo the lock of the additional handle (Fig. 3b/Item 5) and move the additional handle to its optimal position. Lock the handle in place by retightening the lock.

6.4 Adjusting the angle of the handlebar (Fig. 4)

When the lock is pressed (Fig. 4/Item A) you can adjust the angle of the handlebar to 4 positions. Set the angle as suited best for your work. Make sure that there is an audible click when the handlebar engages.

When the lock is pressed (Fig. 9/Item A) you can turn the top handle to 2 positions, for example for cutting edges of lawns. Make sure that there is an audible click when the top handle engages.

Note: If the line is too long when you use the equipment for the first time, the surplus end of it will be cut by the blade on the guard hood. If the line is too short when you start the equipment for the first time, press the knob on the line spool and pull the line hard. When you start the equipment again the line will be cut to the perfect length automatically. Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you observe the following instructions: 앬 Never use the grass trimmer without its safety devices. 앬 Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results are had on dry grass. Connect the power cable to the extension cable and fasten this to the strain-relief clamp (Figure 5/ Item 13). To switch on your grass trimmer, press the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 5/Item 3). 앬 To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the On/Off switch (Figure 5a / Item 3). 앬 Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the trimmer is running. 앬 For the correct cutting action, swing the grass trimmer to the side as you walk forward, holding it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). 앬 Make several passes to cut long grass shorter step by step from the top (see Figure 8). 앬 Make full use of the edge guide and the guide hood in order to avoid unnecessary line wear. 앬 Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects in order to avoid unnecessary line wear. Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer (Fig. 9) To cut he edges of lawns and flower beds, the grass trimmer can be converted as follows: 앬 Set the angle of the handlebar to its lowest position as described under 6.4. 앬 Turn the top handle through 90° as described under 6.5

Fit the spool cover and spool back into the spool mounting. When you start the equipment again the line will be cut to the perfect length automatically. Important. Bits of the nylon line could cause injury when being flung out.
