Caution! Do not place the cut-
ting head on the ground during
operation!
Extending the cutting thread
The equipment comes with a double-
thread tap mechanism, i.e. both threads
extend if the cutting head is tapped on the
ground.
1. Hold the equipment in operation over a
grassy area and lightly tap the cutting
head a few times on the ground. This
extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter included in the pro-
tective cover cuts the thread to the
desired length.
If the thread ends no longer extend:
•
Switch off the equipment.
•
Press the reel insert until it stops and
give a strong pull on the thread end.
If no thread ends are visible:
•
Replace the thread reel (see chapter
on Changing the Reel).
Caution! Thread remnants may be
thrown out and cause injuries.
Working with the Metal
Cutting Blade
When working, always wear the
carrying strap and appropriate
protective clothing. Wear eye,
ear and head protection. Ensure
that the cutting blade is installed
properly. Replace damaged or
blunt tools. Risk of injury.
Use the cutting blade only to work
on open, level areas. Inspect care-
fully the area to be cut and remove
all foreign bodies. Avoid impacts
on stones, metal or other obsta-
cles. The metal cutting blade could
be damaged and there is a risk of
recoil.
•
When working, hold the cutting head
over the ground and swing the equip-
ment slowly to and fro in an even
curve, like a strimmer.
•
Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
•
Do not use the equipment to cut un-
controlled growth, undergrowth or
scrub.
•
Check the metal cutting blade regular-
ly for damage and replace damaged
cutting blades.
If the Equipment Vibrates
Clean the equipment, remove any grass
remnants present on the cutting head and
in the protective cover.
Care and Maintenance
Have any work not described in
these instructions carried out by
our Grizzly service centre. Wear
gloves when handling the metal
cutting blade and thread cutter.
Risk of injury.
Never use metallic threads or
saw blades. The use of such non-
original parts can cause personal
injury and irreparable damage
to the equipment and will result
in immediate invalidation of the
guarantee.
Cleaning the Equipment
•
Clean the cutting device and protective
cover of grass and earth after each
cutting procedure.
