WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ

from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on 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 Using 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 the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades2-in-1 Grass Trimmer/Edger EN

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. Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10

2. ASSEMBLy OF THE EDGER WHEEL

(See Fig. B) With the tool right side up, slide the Edger Wheel (7) assembly onto the metal plate located on the side of the trimmer head. Make sure the grooves of the Edger Wheel assembly lock onto the metal plate; you will hear it click into place. To remove the wheel assembly, press the release button (b) on the wheel and pull the wheel assembly upward. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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.

• Alwaysweareyeprotection.Neverlean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into the eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.

• Holdfronthandlewithonehandand 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.

• Beforeoperating,makesurebothtrimmer lines are extended. When trimming, make2-in-1 Grass Trimmer/Edger EN

sure motor is running at full speed.

• Useonly1.65mmdiametercuttingline. Other line sizes will not properly feed in the trimmer head and could cause serious injury. Never use other materials such as wires, string or rope, as this may break off during cutting and cause serious injury.

Push the Flower Guard (4) in when edging and pull it out before trimming, as shown in Fig C. Before trimming or edging make sure the Flower Guard is locked firmly in position.

2. ADJuSTMENT OF THE TELESCOPIC

SHAFT (See Fig. D) Unscrew the Locking Collar (2) clockwise to unlock, as indicated. Adjust the length of the Telescopic Shaft (5)to the most comfortable length. Tighten the Locking Collar counter- clockwise to lock, as indicated.

3. MAIN HANDLE ROTATION

First, hold down the lower housing with your foot and pull upward on the Telescopic Shaft (5). Then rotate the Telescopic Shaft clockwise 90 degrees (See Fig.E1) and release; the Shaft will be locked in position automatically (See Fig. E2).

4. ADJuSTING THE AuxILIARy HANDLE

(See Fig. F) Pull up the Auxiliary Handle Locking Lever (9). Hold the lever and rotate the Auxiliary Handle (6) to the most comfortable and balanced position (See Fig F). Release the lever, your Auxiliary Handle has been locked.

5. ELECTRICAL SuPPLy CABLE STRAIN

RELIEF (See Fig. G) For strain relief of the cable, form a loop at the end of the extension cable. Locate the cable through the handle and secure by placing the loop over the Cable Hook and pull the cable back.

6. ADJuSTMENT OF TRIMMER HEAD

ANGLE To adjust the trimmer head angle downwards, put one foot on the motor housing, then grip the Rear and Auxiliary handles, and apply adequate force to adjust, as shown in Fig. H1. To adjust the trimmer head angle upwards, put one foot on the Safety Guard (3), then grip the Rear and Auxiliary handles and apply adequate force to adjust, as shown in Fig. H2.

7. uSING THE ON/OFF TRIGGER

Press and hold the on/off trigger to start the trimmer. Release to stop

Hold the bottom of the trimmer head just above the ground and at a slight angle. Allow only the tip of line to make contact with the grass. Let the trimmer line work at its own pace; do not force the trimmer line into the work area.

9. EDGING (See Fig. I)

First, rotate the Rear Handle (1) 90 degree clockwise (See “Main Handle Rotation”, Fig. E1&E2). Adjust the trimmer head angle to be the lowest horizontal setting (See “Adjustment of the Trimmer Head Angle”, Fig H1). Then position the Edger Wheel (7) on the ground for edge mode (See Fig. I). There are two white lines, located on each end of the Safety Guard (3), that show the cutting plane of the trimmer line. Align these marks with the edge of your lawn. While edging, allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line. The wheel helps to prevent the unit from touching the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.

10. AuTOMATIC LINE FEED SySTEM

When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard for a short time. This is normal and is caused by the line being cut by the line cutter. Once the line is cut to the correct length, the ‘clattering’ noise will stop and the trimmer motor will run at full speed. To feed more line, stop the trimmer completely, then restart, allowing the motor to reach full speed. Repeat this until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line cutting. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)2-in-1 Grass Trimmer/Edger EN

Fig. J) Press and release the Line Feed Button (15) (See Fig. J) whilst gently pulling out on one of the lines until it has reached the line cutter. When the required amount of line is fed out, gently pull on the second line (there is no need to press the Line Feed Button again). 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 click the spool counter-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

12. REMOVING THE CAP

Press and hold in the two Cap Release Latches (11) (See Fig K). Pull the Cutting Head Cover (10) away from the Cutting Head (13). Keep the Cutting Head Cover and the inside of the Cutting Head clean from debris. To replace the Cutting Head 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.

13. CHANGING THE LINE SPOOL

First take off the Cutting Head Cover (10) and remove the old Spool (12). Place the new Spool onto the Cutting Head (13). Feed one line through the Eyelet (14), and then repeat for the second line. Reattach the Cutting Head Cover. WARNING! Your Trimmer is designed to only use line with a maximum diameter of 0.065 (1.65mm”. Only use nylon line. IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the upper section of the spool first.

14. TO MANuALLy WIND LINE

Take approximately 5m of line and insert 15mm of line into one of the holes in the upper section of the Spool (12) (See Fig L1). Wind the line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the Spool. Repeat process with separate piece of line on lower section of Spool (See Fig. L2 & L3). Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and place it into the cleat. Repeat on the lower section of the Spool. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neatly coiled on the Spool (See Fig L4). Failure to do so will impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed. Then fit the Spool as described above in “Changing the Line Spool”. MAINTENANCE After use, disconnect the machine from the electrical outlet and check for damage. Your trimmer requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your trimmer. Electric powered trimmers should only be repaired by an authorized repairer. Use only manufacturers recommended replacement parts and accessories. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your trimmer. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your trimmer in a dry place out of the reach of children. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, this is normal and will not damage your trimmer.
