Safety instructions WARNING. Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Power tool use and care • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not •...
Warning. The guard is vital for your and other people’s safety and for the machine’s operating efficiency. • Do not try to stop the cutting device (nylon line) with your hands. Always let it come to a stop by itself. Warning.
Before using the line trimmer, familiarise yourself with all the operating features and safety requirements. This line trimmer is to be used for trimming soft, new growth only. Use the tool and accessories only for the applications intended. All other applications are expressly ruled out.
Extension cord support There is a hole in the back of the handle of the line trimmer which is used as an extension cord retention device. To avoid detaching the extension cord always check that it is attached firmly during use.
Before starting Before use, check that the tool is in good working order and that the length of the trimmer line is correct, as follows: 1. Ensure the switch is in the off position and disconnect the cable plug from the mains supply.
3. Cut the grass by swinging the trimmer from right to left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined forwards at an angle of about 30°. Light cuts are better than heavy cuts as they allow the cut grass to fall away from the spool preventing the grass from clogging the spool.
2. Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the formation of mould. 3. At the end of the season, give the trimmer an overall cleaning and a thorough check. 4. Do not leave the trimmer resting on the floor for extended periods as it could cause the shape of the guard to alter, posing a safety risk.
