WARNING
Noise: A certain amount of noise from the machine is unavoidable. High noise levels during work is only allowed during certain times. Observe the quite periods and limit working time to a
minimum. Persons who are not working with the device or who are remaining nearby must wear ear protection.
Vibration: Always wear safety and anti-vibration gloves. Excessive vibrations can cause Raynaud's syndrome or carpel tunnel syndrome. If you experience an unpleasant feeling while
using the machine or if the skin on your hands becomes discoloured, stop working. Schedule reasonable rest periods. Frequent and regular users should carefully check the conditions of
their hands and fingers.
WARNING
Keep the string trimmer away from the body at all times and keep it at a safe distance. Any contact with the trimmer head or blade while the unit is in use can lead to serious injuries.
OPERATING TIPS
See figure 8
·
Hold the trimmer head to the right of the body at all times. Otherwise the grass deflector cannot provide full protection.
·
Hold the machine firmly with both hands at all times during operation.
·
Cut high grass from top to bottom. This prevents grass from winding around the shaft housing and the spool, which could lead to damage to the device due to overheating.
If grass wraps around the trimmer head or the shaft housing
See figure 5 and 6
·
Release the switch trigger (1) to stop the string trimmer.
·
Remove the battery.
· Remove the grass on the trimmer head or the shaft housing.
TIPS FOR CUTTING
See figure 8
·
Hold the string trimmer tilted slightly forward. This achieves the best cutting results.
·
Move the machine from right to left to prevent thrown debris toward the operator.
·
Use the tips of the cutting line to cut and cut grass starting from the edge of the lawn. Do not push the trimmer head into the middle of uncut grass.
·
Frequent contact between the cutting line with stationary objects such as curbstones, walls, fences, trees, can result in increased wear and tear and cause the line to break.
·
Avoid cutting trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood trim, exterior wall cladding, and fence posts can be easily damaged by the thread.
AUTOMATICALLY SETTING THE CUTTING LINE LENGTH
See figure 9 and 10
NOTE
The machine has an auto-feed head. It will damage the machine if you hit the head to try to advance the line.
