GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Before trimming or edging make sure the flower guard is locked firmly in position.

OPERATION

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.

EDGE /TRIMMING SUPPORT WHEELS

There are three optional positions for the Edge /Trimming Support Wheels to attach when assisting in Trimming and Edging.

Position 1: Using the guide wheels when trimming in a forward or reverse direction (See Fig. J1)

Position the Grass Trimmer in the trimming position. Underneath the Safety Guard there is a metal plate that the Edge/Trimming Support Wheels will attach to. Slide the Support Wheels horizontally onto the metal plate until they lock into position so both the wheels are facing in the forward direction (See Fig. B3). The wheels should provide support when you are trimming in the forward or reverse direction.

Position 2: Using the guide wheels when trimming Side to Side

Position the Grass Trimmer in the trimming position. Underneath the Safety Guard there is a metal plate that the Edge/Trimming Support Wheels will attach to. Slide the Support Wheels vertically onto the metal plate until it locks into position (See Fig. B2). The wheels should provide support when you are trimming in a horizontal side to side direction (See Fig. J2).

NOTE: you could also use the machine without the guide wheels on guard when trimming.

Position 3: Using the guide wheels when edging (See Fig. I2)

WARNING: Make Sure the Safety Switch is Locked Off to Prevent

Accidental Starting.

Change the tool from trimming into the edging mode, the Edge /Trimming Support Wheels (12) will attach on the side the trimmer head as shown in Fig. B1.; rotate the main handle as described in "MAIN HANDLE ROTATION", then unlock the Pivot Head Locking Knob, and using adequate force, pull the trimmer head into the desired position. Make sure to adjust the trimmer head angle to be in the lowest horizontal setting. Finally, lock the Pivot Head Locking Knob (See Fig. H3) and position the wheels on the ground for the edging mode. While edging, keep the Flower Guard/Edge Guide aligned with the sidewalk edge, this will assist to edge in a straight path. Only the tip of the line will make contact with area being worked on. Do not force the line. The edging wheels help protect the unit and keep the unit from contacting the ground. Take extra caution while edging, as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.

AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. Each time the tool is started from rest it will advance about 6.35mm of trimmer line.

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.

TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (See Fig. K1)

Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. If required, line can be fed out manually.

To operate, press and release manual Line Feed Button (17), while gently pulling out the line until it is long enough to reach 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 Spool

Cap and turn Spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

TO REMOVE THE SPOOL CAP COVER (See Fig. K2)

Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches (19) (See Fig. K2).

Pull the Spool Cap Cover (18) away from the Cutting Head (21). Keep the Spool Cap Cover and the inside of the Cutting Head clean from debris. To replace the Spool Cap Cover, press it firmly onto the Spool Holder. Ensure that it is correctly connected by trying to remove it without depressing the two Cap Release Latches.

REPLACE THE TRIMMER LINE AND SPOOL (See Fig. K3).

Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. Remove Spool Cap Cover.

Remove the old Spool from Spool Holder. Clear any broken line or cutting debris from the spool area. Pull the line from the new replacement Spool through the eyelet of the Spool Holder. Place new Spool into the holder with the cut out areas of the Spool facing inward or down. When installed into the Spool Holder, the smooth side of the Spool should be visible.

Release line from cleat on the Spool. Refit the Spool Cap Cover.

TO MANUALLY WIND LINE (See Fig. L1-L4)

Take approximately 3m of line. Insert 15mm of line into the Spool holes and wind line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the Spool.

Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and place into the cleat.

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 "Replace the trimmer line and Spool".
