7. OPERATION

HOW TO USE THE GRASS TRIMMER
1) Hold the device on the right-hand side as shown
in fig. 20.
ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE CUTTING
LINE
The line head is semiautomatic and allows the user
to adjust the correct line length without stopping the
engine.
Before half the length of the cutting line is worn,
press briefly with the head on the ground, while
keeping the engine at full speed (fig. 21).
This operation unwinds the line (away from the
centre) from inner reel. The correct length is
automatically restored by means of the blade located
on the guard.
TRIMMING GRASS
With the line head held parallel to the ground,
proceed swinging the trimmer to the right and left
(fig. 23). Keep the engine running at full speed for a
clean trim.
TRIMMING AROUND OBSTACLES, PLANTS
AND FENCES
Keep the end of the line (fig. 23) just clear of obstacles.
The inclination of the head (fig. 22) may improve
trimming efficiency. Do not knock obstacles with the
line head to avoid cutting lines.
Should lines snap, replace them as outlined below.
8. REPLACING A CUTTING LINE
User can install: a new spool complete with line or
rewind a new line on the original spool.
A) Use a plastic line 2 mm in diameter specially
designed for strimmers.

ATTENTION DANGER! DO NOT USE
METAL WIRE AT ALL!
B) DETACHING A SPOOL
1) Unscrew the knob anticlockwise (fig. 24).
2) Remove the spool from the housing of the head
(fig. 25-26).
3) Thoroughly clean the inside of the housing (fig.
27) and check how much the internal teeth (fig. 28)
are worn. If they are visibly worn, replace the whole
head.
C) WINDING A LINE
Use a length of line no greater than 8 m.
1) Insert the two ends of the line in the two holes in
the spool. Pull them from the opposite side and cross
them in the middle (fig. 29).
2) Wind the two coupled lengths of line on the spool,
following the direction of the arrow printed on the
spool itself (fig. 30).
3) To make it easier to reinstall the spool in the
housing, attach both ends of the line in the two slots
provided (fig. 31).
D) REFITTING A SPOOL
1) Insert both ends through the guiding slit (fig. 32-
33).
2) Insert the spring and then the spool in the head.
3) Firmly pull out both ends of the line as far as
possible through the slots (fig. 34).
4) Screw the knob fully clockwise (fig. 35). Replace
the knob when it is worn.

9.MAINTENANCE

SPARK PLUG
At least once a year or if the engine has problems
starting up properly, check the condition of the spark
plug. Wait for the engine to cool before operation.
1) Remove the cap and unscrew the spark plug
with the wrench< provided (fig. 36).
