Extending The Cutting Line - Elem Garden Technic CBE1201 Original Instructions Manual

EXTENDING THE CUTTING LINE

To extend the cutting line, press the spool onto the ground whilst the motor is turning and the
line will extend automatically. For most effective grass trimming, ensure the machine is
operation at full speed and then use slow shallow sweeps of the cutting line, ensuring that you
do not overload the machine by cutting too fast or cutting through heavy terrain.
TRIMMING
1) Make sure that the work area is free of rock, debris, lines and other foreign objects.
2) Start the tool before approaching the grass to be cut.
3) If you need to release the cutting line, please "bump" the spool button of the trimmer on the
ground to feed the line. If too much line is fed out and it projects beyond the guard edge it is
cut by the line cutting blade.
4) Cut the grass by swinging the tool 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.
5) Start cutting nearest the mains power source and work away from it to make it easier to
avoid the cable.
6) High grass should be cut in layers always beginning from the top. Do not cut damp or wet
grass. Do not overload your tool.
7) Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against hard objects (stones, walls, fences
etc).
8) Watch out for kickbacks in the events of impact with hard objects.
9) After finishing the cutting operation, keep the head close to ground level, release the switch
and allow the motor to come to a complete stand still. Place the trimmer on the ground,
switch off and remove the cable plug from the mains supply
NOTE : Periodically clean out the grass between the spool and the rim of the guard to prevent
the tool from vibrating.
