6. ASSEMBLING THE MACHINE

Protective cover installation (see fig. 2)

◆ Slide the cover onto the grass trimmer's head. (fig. 2)
The cover is properly attached when the retaining pawls click.

Protective guide installation (see fig. 3)

Attach both ends of the protective guide on the trimmer as shown on fig. 3.

Grip the machine handle and move the release button backwards with your thumb (A), then press and hold the trigger switch (B) (see fig.5). Turn off the grass trimmer by releasing the trigger switch.

Turning on the tool

Before using the string trimmer for the first time, make sure that the nylon string is properly attached and long enough. If the string is not long enough, proceed as follows:
- Press the coil button. (see fig.6) - Pull out the nylon string to a desired length. (see fig.6)
As soon as the grass trimmer is turned on, the extended nylon line will automatically be shortened by the shortening blade to the correct length.
While the grass trimmer is in operation the nylon line will become shorter and will wear out. To automatically extend or pull out the nylon string, tap the butt on the spool lightly against the ground (even while the grass trimmer is in running). (see fig. 7)

This procedure should be repeated several times before starting work to make sure that the grass trimmer is working correctly and that you are completely informed about the use of the grass trimmer. Start slowly and as soon as you become more experienced, you will be able to take advantage of the full potential of the grass trimmer.

The working height of the grass trimmer can be continuously set and adjusted to suit the height of the operator. (see fig. 8)

• Hold the bearing rod and loosen the locking screw.
• Adjust the telescopic rod to a correct length and tighten the locking screw.

The trimmer also allows you to set the mowing head vertically (see fig.9).

• Hold the trimmer's bearing rod with one hand and the plastic chassis with the other (at the motor).
• Move both components from each other to release the lock and adjust the mowing string head's position.

Replacing the string spool

Turn the string trimmer off and wait until all rotating parts come to a full stop.
Remove the battery.
Remove the coil from the trimmer: hold the serrated outer part with one hand and push and twist the coil head to unlock with the other (fig.10). The coil holder and the coil can be easily removed now.

Note: There is a spring inside the head which can easily get lost. Make sure that it is kept in a safe place.

* To replace the coil, please select OPTION 1 or OPTION 2.

- OPTION 1: COIL REPLACEMENT

Replace the coil for a new one

Thread the coil through the eye on the coil holder and insert the coil inside. (fig.11)
Make sure you have inserted the spring inside, then replace the coil and the holder to their original position: press the head and twist clockwise until it clicks. (fig.12)
Make sure the nylon string is properly attached, press the coil button with your thumb while pulling out the nylon string with your fingers. The nylon string should eject easily.

- OPTION 2: REWINDING THE STRING ON THE COIL

To attach the nylon string, follow the instructions below:

• Thread the nylon string end through the coil hole with a 3mm lap as shown on fig.13.
• Wind the nylon string on the coil gently and steadily in the arrow direction marked on the coil (see fig.13), until the nylon string reaches the coil's edge groove. Do not rewind the coil. The coil allows you to wind nylon string in length of about 6.5m.

Note: Spare nylon string or coil are not supplied.

Charging the battery (see fig.14)

Before first use or when you have not used the string trimmer for a long time, it is necessary to fully charge the battery, otherwise its lifespan will be reduced. The battery heats up slightly when charging, this is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.

Note: The battery will achieve full capacity after several charge/discharge cycles.

Note: DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY IF THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 4°C OR ABOVE 40°C. RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE FOR CHARGING: APPROXIMATELY 24°C.

Insert the battery in the charger as shown on fig.14. Make sure that the battery is firmly seated in the charger. The LED indicator light is red, indicating that the battery is being charged.
The battery is fully charged after approximately 4 hours. The LED indicator light is green, indicating that the battery is fully charged.

Important information about charging

Note: To reach a long lifetime and the best performance of the battery, charge it at temperatures between 18 and 24°C. Do not charge the battery under extreme temperature conditions to prevent serious damage.

The battery may heat up if you use your trimmer continuously. Allow the battery to cool for at least 30 minutes down before charging.
The charger and the battery heat up slightly during the charging process. This is a normal condition, not a malfunction.
We recommend to charge the battery at room temperature. To prevent overheating, never cover the battery, charge in sunlight or near heat sources.
If the battery is not charged properly:

• check if the plug and connector are plugged in properly
• position the charger in an area where temperature ranges between 18 and 24°C
• if the problems persist, please contact a professional service centre.

The battery should be always recharged when the trimmer power decreases. Under such conditions, DO NOT resume working. Please proceed according to the instructions for charging the battery. You can also charge a partially used battery provided that this will not have a negative impact on the battery.
Under certain circumstances and when the charger is connected to mains, a short-circuit may occur. Foreign conductive objects such as steel wools, aluminium foils or others containing metallic parts must be placed out of the charger's reach. Always disconnect the charger from the mains if the battery is not charged. If you want to clean the battery, disconnect the charger from the mains.
Do not immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

ATTENTION! Make sure that no liquid enters the charger. This may result in electric shock. To facilitate the battery cooling after use, avoid placing the battery or the charger in a warm environment such as metallic hall or uninsulated trailer.

⚠️ ATTENTION! Never attempt to open the battery. If the battery plastic cover is damaged, return it in the relevant recycling centre and stop using it.

8. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Maintenance

When finished, remove the battery from the string trimmer.

Never rinse the trimmer under water jet (such as with a garden hose). No water may get inside the machine. Do not clean with a pressure washer.
The cutting tool on the cover edges may get blunt over time. We recommend to check the cutting tool sharpness on regular basis.
