STARTING/STOPPING THE LAWN TRIMMER
EN
Before starting the Lawn Trimmer
◾ ◾
Make sure you have a secure and balanced footing.
◾ ◾
Stand upright and hold the Lawn Trimmer in a relaxed position.
◾ ◾
Make sure that the cutting line is not touching the ground or any other objects.
◾ ◾
Hold the Lawn Trimmer with both hands: One hand on the rear handle and one
hand on the front-assist handle.
To start the Lawn Trimmer (Fig. 14)
1. Press down the lock-off lever and
hold it in that position. Depress the
trigger to turn on the Lawn Trimmer.
2. The rotational speed of the cutting
line is controlled with the variable
speed trigger. More pressure on
the trigger results in higher cutting
speed; less pressure on the trigger
results in lower cutting speed. Adjust
the speed to suit the task at hand.
NOTICE:
The motor runs only when the
lock-off lever and trigger are operated simultaneously.
To stop the Lawn Trimmer
Release the lock-off lever and trigger to stop the Lawn Trimmer.
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from the Lawn Trimmer during
work breaks and after finishing work.
USING THE LAWN TRIMMER
WARNING:
all times when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or line, that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all
children, bystanders and pets at least 15 m away; there still may be risk to bystanders
from thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you
are approached, stop the motor and cutting attachment immediately.
