Rotating The Shaft; Starting The Trimmer; Adjusting The Angle Of The Trimmer Head - Eckman HDT01 Owner's Manual

Adjusting The Angle Of The Trimmer Head:

PIC.6 PIC.7
To change the angle of the trimmer head (from 0 – 90 degrees), grip the large red adjustment knob
(Part3) and depress the grey coloured knob release button as shown in PIC 6 & PIC 7. When you've
reach the desired trimmer head position, release the pressure on the grey button.

ROTATING THE SHAFT

Apart from being able to change the cutting angle by up to 90 degrees, you can also adjust the shaft
from 0-180 degrees. Simply press the red button on the side of the shaft ( Part 5 Hand Adjustment
Knob For Shaft) and swivel the cutter head to the desired position. When you turn the head it will
make a loud clicking noise.

STARTING THE TRIMMER

To operate the trimmer, first plug the power cord into a convenient 13Amp mains outlet. For working
outdoors and for your safety, we recommend the use of an RCD ( Residual Current Detector ).In
order to operate the Trigger Switch (Part 11), you must first depress the Trigger Switch Lock-Out
button ( Part 9.) See PIC8
Please note – when switching the trimmer on and off you may see electric sparks inside the trimmer
head where the motor is located. This is perfectly normal and in no way represents a safety hazard.
Unlike some trimmers that incorporate a mechanical brake, this trimmer uses an extremely sensitive
Electronic Brake which naturally produces some sparks. It is a safety feature of this trimmer.
