When using a cord set, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current that your unit wilI draw. An undersized cord set will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in power and overheating. n The table (below) shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier size Iine gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. n For safety reasons, the socket used to power the unit should be backed up by a residual current-operated (FI) circuitbreaker which can be tripped by a max. current of 30mA. n A fatal injury could occur if you sever the mains cable while mowing is taking place. Slowly step away from the unit. Pull the plug out of the mains socket.

OPERATING CLICK-LINK® SYSTEM

NOTE: To make installing or removing the add-on easier, place the unit on the ground or on a work bench. Removing the Cutting Attachment or Add-Ons: n Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen

FIG. 20). NOTE: Aligning the release button with the guide recess will help installation (

FIG. 20). n FOR BASIC TRIMMING OR FOR MOST ADD-ONS - Locate and lock the release button into the Primary hole (

FIG. 21). Ensure it is tight before operating the unit.

To prevent disconnection when you connect the extension cord to the power cord, use the cord hook (Fig. 18), or tie the cords in a knot. STARTING / STOPPING n Press control switch to switch on the appliance, release to switch off.

n Hold the trimmer as shown FIG. 6

ADJUSTING LINE LENGTH

The trimmer has a bump (cutting) head, which releases more trimming line without stopping the motor. n When the cord starts to get a bit short, knock the cutting head on the bare ground or on hard ground to make the appliance work at top speed. Repeat the process as often as necessary (

FIG. 7). DECORATIVE TRIMMING Use a 30-degree angle to remove all vegetation around trees, posts, fences (

FIG. 8). EDGING When edging, let the tip of the trimming line do the work (

1. The cutting head will be at the correct

angle by holding it parallel to the ground.

2. DO NOT FORCE THE UNIT.

3. Cut to your left for best cutting, and to

ENGLISH throw the clippings away from the op- erator.

4. Move the trimmer slowly in and out of

the area being cut, using a forward- backward or side-to-side motion. Maintain top speed for best cutting.

5. Trim only when grass and weeds are

6. The life of your cutting line depends on

your trimming techniques, what is being cut, and where the cutting is being done. Some line breakage will occur from: n Entanglement with foreign matter n Normal line fatigue n Attempting to cut thick weeds n Forcing the line into walls or fenceposts

The trimming line may be replaced by two methods - rewinding the existing reel or installing a prewound reel.

REWINDING THE EXISTING REEL

To rewind the existing reel you must: n Check for the correct line size. n Remove the inner reel and spring. n Wind the reel with the new line. n Reinstall the existing reel and spring.

THE CORRECT LINE TO USE

Use a dual line reel with Ø 2,00 mm.

REMOVING THE EXISTING REEL

n Unscrew the coil lock-nut clockwise (

FIG. 11). n Use a clean cloth to clean the inside of the outer spool (

FIG. 12). n Check the indexing teeth on the reel and spool for wear (

n Insert the ends of new trimming line into the inner reel holes (

FIG. 14). n Loop the line into two equal lengths before inserting it into the holes. n Wind the line, in even and tight layers

FIG. 15), onto the reel, and in the direction indicated. n Push the ends of the line into the slots(

n Insert the ends of the line through the eyelets in the outer spool (

FIG. 17). n Grasp the ends and pull firmly to release the line from the slots in the spool. n Screw up the coil lock-nut again anticlockwise(

FIG. 10). Line installation is now complete.

INSTALLING A PREWOUND REEL

n Use the same instructions as the existing reel: n The Correct Line to Use; n Removing the Existing Reel; n Reinstalling the Reel. CLEANING / STORAGE n Do not block the air vents. n Do not use strong detergents on the plastic housing or handle. n Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off moisture with a soft cloth. n Clean the unit thoroughly before storing. Hang the unit by the handle loop and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. eb1000_ing.p65 10/03/03, 8:063 Electric appliances must only be repaired by qualified technicians.4 EB 1000 PROBLEM n Motor will not start n Cutting head will not turn when throttle is squeezed n Cutting head will not advance line
