Technical Specification
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 50636-2-91:2014.
The noise figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working
levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this
cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are
required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of work-force include
the characteristics of the work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number
of machines and other adjacent processes, and the length of time for which an
operator is exposed to the noise. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from
country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a
better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
Wear hearing protection!
9

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 50636-2-
91:2014.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardized test given in EN 50636-2-91:2014 and may be
used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.
However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of
vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organization of work patterns.

order to allow the blade on guard to cut the line.
3. While using the trimmer, keep it at an angle of approximately 20° to the ground
(Fig. 17) and move it from side to side. (Fig.18).
16

4. High grass should be cut in layers, always beginning from the top. The cuts
should be short. Do not overload the trimmer, cut small sections, which significantly
improves the effectiveness because it makes it possible to run the trimmer at full
speed. (Fig.19 & Fig.20)
5. While edging allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line. The
guard helps protect the unit and keeps the unit from contacting the ground. Take
extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line. (Fig.21)
17

Line Feeding
Line feeding is automatic. When you start the trimmer, the line will automatically cut
to the right length.
Replacement Of The Line Spool

removing all dust and grass residues.
• Insert now the new spool in the spool base and push the end of line through the
lateral holes (d).
• Push the spool holder (a) on and fasten it securely.
CAUTION! Under no circumstances wind extra line on the empty spool but
instead replace it with a new one, the same as the original. The use of line
with different characteristics to those of the original can permanently damage
the grass trimmer as well as annulling the terms of the guarantee.
18

Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance operations, remove the battery.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance of you grass trimmer will ensure efficiency and
prolong the life of your machine.
• After each cutting operation, take apart and clean out the grass and soil from the
spool and its slot, the whole trimmer and in particular the guard.
• Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush to clean the grass
trimmer.
• Do not spray or wet the appliance with water.
• Do not use detergents or solvents as these could damage the trimmer. Plastic
parts can easily be damaged by chemical agents.
• If the line cutting blade no longer cuts or breaks, have this replaced by contacting
an authorized service center.
CAUTION! The blade can give deep cuts.
• For repairs which have not been explained in these instructions, contact an
authorized service center.
Storage
Follow these recommendations for storing your grass trimmer:
• Carry out general cleaning of the grass trimmer and its ancillary parts
• Store it out of the reach of children, in a stable and safe position and in a dry place
where the temperature is not too hot or too cold.
• Store the trimmer away from direct sunlight, if possible in a dark or barely lit place.
• Do not store in a bag as this could encourage the formation of damp patches.
• Do not store the grass trimmer resting on the floor. Hang it by the upper handgrip
instead, so that the guard does not touch anything. The resting of the guard on a
surface could alter its shape and therefore its dimensions and safety characteristics
would be modified.
