6. Operation
The string trimmer has an automatic line spool
extension system. Each time the equipment
is switched on, the line will be automatically
extended to ensure that you always work with
the perfect cutting width. The blade on the guard
hood will cut the line to the permissible length. If
necessary you can extend the line manually by
pressing the release button (Fig. 8 / Item 16) and
pulling simultane-ously on the line.
Note: Frequently switching the equipment on and
off will increase line wear.
Caution! Bits of the nylon line catapulted out
into the surroundings could cause injuries!
To obtain maximum performance from your string
trimmer, please follow these instructions:
•
Never use the string trimmer without the
safety guard.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved on dry grass.
•
To switch on your string trimmer, press the
safety lock-off (Fig.12 / Item 1) and the On/Off
switch (Fig. 12 / Item 2).
•
To switch off your string trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Fig. 12 / Item 2) again.
•
Do not allow the string trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the string
trimmer is in operation.
