5. Assembling the grass trimmer
To install the handle on the telescopic tube
Fit the handle on the telescopic tube and insert it
as far as possible (Figure 3). The button (1) will
engage automatically.
To install the safety hood
Place the safety hood on the motor head (Figure
4) and then turn it clockwise until it engages
(Figure 5). Secure it with the screws supplied
(Figure 5).
Assembly of the handle
The handle is assembled as shown in Fig. 7.
Refer to the numbers for the correct assembling
order.
6. 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.
7. Before starting
You can adjust the height of the grass trimmer and
the position of the auxiliary handle to obtain the
optimal working position.
Height adjustment
Place the grass trimmer on a firm surface. You can
adjust its height to suit your own height by undoing
the rotary knob (Figure 6 Item 1) and then adjusting
the telescopic tube. Then tighten the rotary knob
again.
8. Starting for the first time and
operation
The grass trimmer is designed only for cutting grass.
A short or worn nylon line will result in poor cutting
performance.

IMPORTANT! Make sure that you
unplug the rechargeable battery before
adjusting the line length (Fig. 11)!
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the semi-
automatic line extension system, the line will be
extended to ensure that you can cut your lawn with
the perfect cutting width at all times.
Please note that the wear on the line will be
increased if you activate the semi-automatic line
extension system frequently.
Note
If the line is too long when you use the machine
for the first time, the surplus end of it will be cut
by the blade on the safety 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 then start the
machine for the first time the line will be cut to
the perfect length automatically.
Remove the knife guard. Caution: Risk of injury!
Now insert the rechargeable battery (Fig. 11). The
line will be cut to the correct length when the cutting
head starts up again. A short or worn nylon line
produces poor cutting results.
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.
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the safety
lock-off and the ON/OFF switch (Fig.1/Pos. 2).
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Pos. 2).
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 12-13).
Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 14).
Make full use of the guide hood in order to avoid
unnecessary line wear.
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects
in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
