7. Attachment and operation

Assembly

• Screw the part with handle (Fig. 2/D) and part with engine (Fig. 2/E) to each other.
  • Fix both parts with a bolt and nut (Fig. 2/B; Fig.3).
• Fix the spool cover (Fig. 2/G) to the appliance head (Fig. 4) with a bolt (Fig. 2/C).
• Mount the fixture (Fig. 2/F) to the handle using a bolt and nut (Fig. 2/F; Fig. 5-6).

Please make sure the assembled parts are firmly tightened.

Before putting the appliance into operation, check it for the following:

• Cable not damaged
• Perfect state of the protection and cutting equipment
• Firm tightening of all the screwing

8. Initial operation

Please follow the statutory regulations regarding the protection against noise provisions that may differ in individual locations.

Caution!

• The automatic string cut-off knife (Fig. 1/9) is located underneath the spool of string cover.
• The cutting tool starts rotating when the engine is started.

Adjustment to be only performed when the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

If necessary, the nylon string must be pulled out to the protection cover edge before starting the engine. When the cutting head is initially run, the string is cut to the appropriate length by the knife on the protection cover.

1. Connect the string trimmer feeder cable to the extension cable and hang it to the cable lock.
2. Hold the appliance by both hands and take the operating posture.
3. To start the string trimmer, press the hand throttle (Fig. 1/5).
4. Hold the appliance at an angle of app. 30° and move it from the right to the left in half-circle (Fig. 12).
5. Best results are achieved with max. grass length of 15 cm.
6. More cuttings are recommended when the grass is higher.

CAUTION!

Do not put the cutting head on the ground when the appliance is running.

Spool of string adjustment:

1. Keep the running appliance above the grass plot. Tap slightly the cutting head by the ground. By this, the string will be extended (Fig. 11).

2. The knife in the protection cover (Fig. 1/9) will cut the string to the required length.

Switch-off order:

The appliance gets stopped after a few seconds when the hand throttle is released. Now disconnect the appliance from the extension or feeder cable.

9. Working instructions

⚠️ Important:

- Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped under the safety shield and prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like.

• Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the ground. Check the site and decide which cutting height you require. Guide and hold the line spool at the required height to obtain an even cut.
• The line trimmer may only be used for cutting grass and weeds underneath bushes, on edges, corners and slopes which cannot be reached by a lawn-mower. Alternative use not specified in these instructions can damage the device or severely injure the user. Therefore, it is explicitly excluded from the list of possible applications.

10. Maintenance

The appliance must always be switched off before any servicing and cleaning. Wait until it fully stops. Unplug it.

Servicing works not specified in these Operating Instructions must be performed by authorised staff as there may be dangerous situations the operator is unable to handle. Spare parts may only be replaced by authorised staff.

Cleaning

• Every time the appliance has been used, it should be cleaned by a clean cloth, brush or blown with compressed air under low pressure.
• Do not use cleaning agents and solvents as they may damage the plastic parts of the appliance.
• Do not spray on the string trimmer.

Spool of string change

CAUTION! The appliance must necessarily be unplugged before changing the spool of string!

1. Switch the string trimmer off and wait until the nylon string fully stops and disconnect the appliance from the feeder cable.
2. Now grasp the spool and turn it to the left in the "open lock symbol" direction.
3. Remove the empty spool and replace it with a new one. Fit the spool on the spring and turn it to the right in the "closed lock symbol" direction until it snaps in.
4. If necessary, when the cutting head is initially run, the string is cut to the appropriate length by the knife on the protection cover.
5. The appliance may now be plugged and started now.

11. Storage

• Disconnect the grass trimmer from the electricity supply when it is not being used.
• Store the device in a dry place beyond the reach of children.
• When the device is not being used, store it so it cannot be started by unauthorised persons.

WARNING!

Do not store the device without protection outside or in a damp environment.

Winterising

• Clean the appliance thoroughly.
• Keep the appliance in a dry room.
• Provide overall servicing as described in the Servicing section.
• Let the appliance cool down.
• Clean the appliance external surface.

12. Disposal and recycling

The disposal instructions are based on icons placed on the appliance or its package. The description of the meanings can be found in the "Marking" section. Transport package disposal

The package protects the appliance against damage during transport. Packing materials are usually chosen depending on their environmental friendliness and disposal method and can therefore be recycled. Returning the package to material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste disposal costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation!

Keep parts of packages away from children and dispose them as soon as possible.

13. Troubleshooting

The table shows potential failures, their possible cause and removal options. However, if you are unable to remove the problem, contact a professional to assist you.

Switch off and unplug the appliance before any servicing and cleaning.
