The value of the vibrations emitted by the handle
amounts to 2.5 m/s² and was determined in
compliance with EN 786.
5. Assembling the housing
Plug the housing parts together as shown in Figure A.
Make sure when doing so that the cable is not
jammed.
6. Assembling the guard hood
(Figure C)
Plug the guard hood (4) onto the motor head (2) over
the line spool (3) as shown, turn it anticlockwise as far
as the stop (bayonet lock) and secure with the
supplied screw (1).
NOTE: When turning the guard hood, make sure that
it rests horizontally on the grass trimmer housing.

7. Proper use

The trimmer is designed for cutting lawns and small
areas of grass in private and hobby gardens.
Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable
for use in public facilities, parks and sport centers,
along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector.
For the tool to be used properly it is imperative to
follow the instructions set out in the manufacturer's
directions for use.
Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop
material for composting because of the potential
danger to persons and property.
8. Starting up
The grass trimmer is designed only to cut grass.
A short or worn down nylon line leads to poor cutting
quality.
IMPORTANT! Prior to starting up the equipment
for the first time, remove the guard from the
blade for regulating the line length (Figure A/8).
IMPORTANT! Make sure that you pull out the
power plug before adjusting the line length!
The nylon line must be pulled out with force when
starting up for the first time. To do this, press the
pushbutton (Figure E) and pull the line out to the edge
of the guard hood. The line will be cut to the correct
length when the cutting head starts up again. A short
or worn down nylon line leads to poor cutting quality.

To restore the correct length of line, press the grass
trimmer to the ground while the cutting head is
running. This enables the line length to adjust itself
(Figure D).
To obtain maximum performance from your
grass trimmer, please follow the instructions
given below:
Never use the grass trimmer without the guard.
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best results
are achieved with dry grass.
Connect the power cable to the extension cable
and attach it in the handle (Figure B).
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
ON/OFF switch (Figure A/3).
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
ON/OFF switch (Figure A/3).
Do not allow the grass trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the grass trimmer
is in operation.
To cut properly, swing the machine sideways
while moving forwards. In doing so, keep the
grass trimmer inclined at an angle of
approximately 15° (Figure G).
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut shorter
in stages, starting from the tip (Figure F).
To avoid unnecessary wear on the line, keep the
grass trimmer away from hard objects.
9. Changing the line spool (Figure E)
IMPORTANT! Make sure that you pull out the
power plug before exchanging the line spool!
Press the sides of the spool cover (2) as shown
and remove it with the spool (3).
Make sure that you do not lose the spring.
Thread the ends of the line on the new spool
through the eyelets on the spool mounting (1).
Fit the spool cover and spool back into the spool
mounting.
Press the pushbutton and pull the line out to the
edge of the guard hood.
The line will be cut to the correct length when the
cutting head starts up again.
Important. Bits of the nylon line could cause
injury when flung out.
