The trimmer is designed for cutting lawns and small

Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable
for use in public facilities, parks and sport centers,
along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector.
For the tool to be used properly it is imperative to
follow the instructions set out in the manufacturerʼs
directions for use.
Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop
material for composting because of the potential
danger to persons and property.
The machine is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
7. To start
The grass trimmer is designed only to cut grass.
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the semi-
automatic line extension system, the line will be
extended to ensure that you can cut your lawn with
the perfect cutting width at all times.
Please note that the wear on the line will be
increased if you activate the semi-automatic line
extension system frequently.
Note
Before the first use, remove the blade cover from
the blade (Figure A/Item 2)
Note
If the line is too long when you use the machine
for the first time, the surplus end of it will be cut
by the blade on the safety hood.
If the line is too short when you start the machine
for the first time, press the knob on the line spool
and pull the line hard. When you then start the
machine for the first time the line will be cut to
the perfect length automatically.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you
observe the following instructions:
앬Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
앬Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results
are had on dry grass.
앬To switch on your grass trimmer press the
ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 3).
앬To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 3).
앬Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the
trimmer is running.
앬For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, holding
it at an angle of approx. 15° as you do so (see
Figure F).

tFor EU countries only
Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its
implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of
in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.
Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:
As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the
device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used
device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial
waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without
any electrical components which are included with the used device.
