6. ASSEMBLY OF STRING TRIMMER
Connect the lower and upper part of the trimmer (Fig. 2) and secure the two parts using the
bolts attached (Fig. 3).
Insert the guard into grooves in the motor housing (Fig. 4) and fix the housing using the bolt
attached (Fig. 5)
Plug the power cord to an approved extension cable.
Then create a loop on the power cord and insert it into an opening in the handle and hitch it onto
the hook (Fig. 6 - 8.)
7. OPERATION
Connection to power source
ATTENTION!
Before connecting the machine to power source, always check whether the switch is off.
Plug the machine to a power source protected by a residual-current device.
Starting the string trimmer
The trimmer can only be started after pressing firmly the handle (A) (Fig. 9) and pressing the
switch (B) (Fig. 9).
After the switch (B) is released (Fig. 7), the tool is switched off automatically to prevent
accidental movement and/or injury.
Note:
Before starting the string trimmer, check the length of nylon strings.
Note:
The string trimmer is suitable for cutting grass up to 15 cm. When cutting higher grass, do so
gradually in several phases.
ATTENTION! Warning:
Keep your feet in sufficient distance from the mowing mechanism
After switching off, the tool keeps running for approx. 5 sec.
Before putting down, always switch off the tool.
Do not carry the machine by holding the cable or keeping the switch pressed.
Cutting string extension
If the cutting string is shortened during operation as a result of its wear, by applying a
reasonable pressure onto the reel flange against the ground the string is pulled out
automatically (Fig. 10). The string is then automatically cut at maximum possible length by a
blade (C) integrated in the trimmer cover (Fig. 10).
