Maintenance And Storage; Environmental Protection - IVT GTE-300 Manual

Instruction manual
∙
Start the trimmer before getting close to the grass
that has to be cut.
∙
Cut the grass by moving the trimmer from right to
left and proceed slowly, keeping the trimmer inclined
EN
(approx. 30°).
∙
High grass should be cut in layers, always
beginning from the top .The cuts should be short.
∙
Do not cut damp or wet grass.
∙ Avoid the overstrain of the device during work.
∙ Avoid wearing the cutting line (20) out quickly by
knocking against hard objects (stone, walls, fences
etc). Use the guide wheel (13) (if included) of the
safety guard (6) in order to keep the trimmer at the right
distance.
∙ Bump head on the ground to advance the cutting
line (20). If the cutting line (20) will not advance after
bumping the head on the ground while the trimmer is
running, the cutting line (20) may have tangled or have
disappeared within the spool holder (7) or the cutting
line (20) may have been used.
NOTE: "Excessive force" or "bashing" the head of the
motor frame (9) on the ground to advance the cutting
line (20) will damage the head of the motor frame (9).
∙ Avoid swinging over the extension cord with the
device still running. You could damage it. You should
always play out the extension cord behind yourself.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Before any work on the device itself,
pull the mains plug.
∙
Always keep the tool and the ventilation slots (if
present) cleaned. Regular cleaning and maintenance of
the appliance will ensure efficiency and prolong the life
of your tool.
∙ If the tool should fail despite the rigorous
manufacturing and testing procedures, the repair should
be carried out by an authorized IVT customer service.
∙ Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight, to be sure the
tool is in safe working condition.
∙ Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
∙ Use only original spare parts. Parts not produced
by manufacturer may cause poor fit and possible injury.
∙ Store the tool in a dry room out of reach of kids and
away from any flammable material.
∙ Never wet the device or spray water on it!
∙ After every cutting procedure, clean grass and
earth off from the cutting equipment and the trimmer
safety guard. In this way you can prevent the formation
of mildew.
∙
Make sure that handles are clean and free from grease.
∙ Clean the device with a soft brush or a cloth. Do
not employ any cleaning agent and solvent. They could
damage the device irreparably. Chemical substances
can attack the plastic parts of the machine.
∙
Do not store the unit for a long period in direct
sunlight.
∙
Do not cover the device with plastic bags, since this
could generate humidity and mold.
∙ Do not place the device on its trimmer safety guard.
The best thing is to suspend it from the front handle so
that the trimmer safety guard does not come in contact
with any other object. The danger exist otherwise that
the trimmer safety guard will deform and dimensions
and safety features will thus change.
