Operation - Redback 106487 Operation Manual

Operation

Attach the shoulder belt to the unit. Pull the shoulder belt over your
head. Hold the unit with both hands: one hand on the upper handle,
SAFETY
the other hand on the lower handle.
SWITCH
The line trimmer is ready to operate once the battery is installed.
To operate press and hold the safety switch at the same time as the
ON/OFF switch (see Figure 4).
Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground and make
sweeping movements from side to side. Walk slowly forwards.
Use only the tip of the line for cutting, especially along walls. If
more than the tip is used for cutting, the cutting capacity is reduced
and the motor may overload. Cut tall grass in two or more passes
from the top down to prevent premature wear of the line and motor
resistance. Cut dry grass and weeds only. The trim line may break
by becoming entangled with foreign objects, with normal wear, by
ON/OFF
SWITCH
attempting to cut thick-stalked weeds, or by striking walls, garden
fences, etc.

Automatic Line Release
You can release the cutting line without stopping the motor.
To release more cutting line, gently tap the cutting head on the
ground while running the line trimmer. The line blade in the guard
cuts the line back to the correct length if too much cutting line is
released. It is best to bounce the cutting head on bare ground or
hard earth.
LED Battery Indicator
The battery state indicator shows the capacity of the battery.
The indicator goes out after 5 seconds. If one of the LEDs flashes,
the battery must be recharged. If none of the LEDs light up after the
button is pressed, the battery is faulty and should be replaced.
