Never pass the line trimmer over the electric cable
n
while the line trimmer is running; make sure the cable
is always in safe position behind your back.
EasyEdge™ FUNCTION
WARNING:
When changing between grass trimming and
edging mode, always make sure that you stop
the line trimmer first and that the cutting lines
have stopped rotating.
This line trimmer features the patented EasyEdge™
n
technology which enables you to change between
edging and grass trimming without hassle.
To switch from grass trimming mode (motor housing
n
is aligned for horizontal cutting) to edging, you
need to hold out the line trimmer (lift it from the
ground) and use your foot to tip the foot pedal (item
5) down (figure 7). The trimmer head will then turn
approximately 45 degrees right (see figure 8). Now
you only need to release the pedal (remove your foot
from it) and tip the line trimmer head over (see figure
9) by pushing the line trimmer down and slightly left
so that it locks into the 90 degree edging position
(see figure 10).
To change from edging mode (motor housing aligned
n
for vertical cutting) to grass trimming, you need to
lift the trimmer slightly above the ground and tip
the pedal (figure 11). The trimmer head will turn
approximately 45 degrees left (see figure 8). To lock
it into the grass trimming position, release the pedal
and push the line trimmer down and slightly to the
right until it locks in. When doing that ensure that you
hold the line trimmer in an angle of approximately 45
degrees to the ground surface.
SAFETY GUARD LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE
This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off
blade on the safety guard. When the line is worn or
broken, switch off the trimmer, after a few seconds
switch it on, then the fresh lines will be released from
the spool automatically. When the lines are long enough
they will be trimmed to optimum length by the cut-off
blade. Advance the line whenever you hear the engine
running faster than normal and when it is apparent the
line is worn or broken. This will maintain best cutting
performance.
