5. Before starting the equipment

5.1. Assembling the grass trimmer
Plug the safety guard (9) on to the motor head
(Fig. 2) und turn through 90°.
Fasten the guard hood (9) with a screw (Fig. 4).
Fasten the guide roller (7) with two screws (Fig.
5).
Plug the additional handle (5) on to the top
handle (Fig. 6). To do so, pull both ends slightly
apart from each other.
Then secure the additional handle (5) using a
screw (A) and the star grip (B) (Fig. 7).
5.2. Height adjustment
You can set your optimal working position by
adjusting the height.
Undo the lock (6) (Fig. 8) and set the required
working position by adjusting the top handle.
Then retighten the lock (6).
5.3. Adjusting the additional handle:
Place the grass trimmer on a firm surface. Undo the
lock of the additional handle (Fig. 7/Item B) and move
the additional handle to its optimal position. Lock the
handle in place by retightening the lock.
5.4 Adjusting the tilt angle:
You can adjust tilt angle to 4 different settings. To
do so, press the button (Fig. 1 / Item 10) and set
the required tilt angle. Then release the button.

6. Operation

The grass trimmer has a fully automatic line extension
system. If the line of the grass trimmer is reduced to a
diameter of approx. 240 mm due to certain works, the
line is automatically extended to maximum cutting
width (approx. 300 mm). This ensures that you can
cut you lawn with the perfect cutting width at all times.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the first time, the surplus end of it will
be cut by the blade on the guard 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 start the equipment again the
line will be cut to the perfect length automatically.

Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you
observe the following instructions:
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results
are had on dry grass.
Connect the power cable to an extension cable
and hook the extension cable on the handle
(Figure 9).
To switch on your grass trimmer press the safety
lock-off (Figure 1 Item 3) and then press the
ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 3).
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 3).
Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the
trimmer is running.
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, holding
it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so (see
Figure 10 and Figure 11).
Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 12).
Make full use of the edge guide and the guide
hood in order to avoid unnecessary line wear
(see Figure 12).
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects
in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
To cut he edges of lawns and flower beds, the grass
trimmer can be converted as follows:
Switch off the power supply of the grass trimmer.
Release the lock (6) completely and turn the top
handle (2) 180° to the right.
Retighten the lock (6).
Now you have converted the grass trimmer to an
edge trimmer, for cutting the lawn vertically (Fig.
13).
