ASSEMBLING
Do not connect the machine
to the mains socket before it
is completely assembled.
The grass trimmer is supplied with some components not
assembled. To assemble these proceed as follows:
Assembling the motor housing
Insert the motor housing (5) into the handgrip (4), make
sure the cable between will not be damaged.
Mounting the guard
Align the reference indices of the body (2) of the spool
holder (3) and of the guard (4). Insert the guard in the body
(up to the collar) and rotate it in the direction indicated by
the arrow until the hole of the guard corresponds to that of
the body. Firm the screws supplied (1).
Caution! During this operation beware of the line cutter
blade. You may be wounded.
Caution! Never use the grass trimmer without the guard. It
is vital for your and other peoples' safety and for the good
working order of the trimmer. The failure to observe this
safety regulation is not only dangerous but also annuls the
guarantee terms.
Use of the cable holder
The handle is equipped with a cable holder that serves for
connection of the extension cable.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Remove stones, loose pieces
of wood and other objects
from the cutting area.
The cutting line continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the trimmer is switched off. Allow the
motor/cutting line to stop rotating before switching
"on" again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.
_
Connect the appliance to a suitable extension cord.
_
Hook the extension cord behind the clamp.
_
Hold the appliance with both hands.
_
Slowly move the appliance back and forth.
_
When working long grass proceed layer
for layer.
_
Keep the appliance away from hard
objects and plants.
_
Only use the appliance for working dry
grass.
_
The appliance will automatically feed the
cutting line during use.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
If the trimmer is to be used for the first time, check that the
nylon line touches or passes over the cutting blade. The
nylon line will be cut automatically when turn on the switch
to the maximum length. If it does not reach the necessary
length, push the head of spool with your finger while pulling
the lines .
Insert the plug into the extension cable and attach it to the
handle. Pressure the switch and make the trimmer turn at
no load; thus, the line length is automatically adjusted. Only
approach the implement to the grass to be cut while it is in
operation, i.e. while the switch is pressed down.
Caution! Before turn on the switch, take the blade
cover away.
To cut long grass, take several small cuts. Never cut wet or
very damp grass. The line has to be protected against
premature wear caused by hard obstacles; for this purpose,
keep the trimmer away from hard surfaces using the
guard's edge as a protection. A short or worn line will
reduce cutting capacity. So, to restore the line to its
optimum length, push the implement to the ground while it
is running; this way, the line will automatically be the
correct length .
CAUTION! The short or worn line cuts less efficiently
therefore, to improve its operations, unplug the electrical
supply and repeat the operation described in the beginning
of the chapter. These make sure that everything is
functioning properly and to familiarize yourself with the
grass trimmer.
CAUTION! After switching off, the nylon line will continue to
rotate for a few more seconds.
REPLACEMENT OF THE LINE SPOOL
Unplug from the socket.
Turn upside down the machine with the guard facing
upwards.
Hold with one hand the motor fan (1) firmly and with
the other hold the spool holder (2). Push the clips of
the spool holder both side down and pull it out of the
motor fan.
Extract the empty spool (3) and clean the inside of the
spool holder carefully removing all dust and grass
residues.
Insert now the new spool in the motor fan and push
the end of line through the lateral holes provided on
the motor fan.
Push the spool holder on and fasten it securely.
Re-establish the length of the nylon line by pushing
the head of spool holder and pull the line ends out to
the desired length (approx. 10 cm).
CAUTION! Under no circumstances wind extra line on the
empty spool but instead replace it with a new one, the
same as the original. The use of line with different
characteristics to those of the original can permanently
damage the grass trimmer as well as annulling the terms of
the guarantee.
