length of line is fed out.
2. A 'clattering' noise will be heard when the nylon line
hits the line cutter. (L1) DO NOT BE ALARMED this
is quite normal. After approximately 5 seconds the
line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will
reduce as the motor reaches full speed.
• Make sure the motor is up to full speed before
trimming or edging.
WARNING
The use of eye protection is recommended. Do not
lean over the trimmer whilst trimming or edging,
objects may be thrown by the cutting line. Do not
allow cutting head to rest on the ground. Do not
overload your trimmer. Overloading can be avoided
by making sure the motor speed does not drop
unduly. Disconnect from the mains electricity supply
before attempting any maintenance or adjustment.
