8. Operating Instructions
8.1 Operating the Grass Trimmer (Fig.13-Fig.15)
WARNING! Use of this product can pose a danger
to wildlife. Before using this tool, check the area,
particularly long grass and under bushes for
signs of wildlife: if necessary relocate.
ALWAYS use with the shoulder strap (22) attached and
adjusted to a suitable height.
• This trimmer is only suitable for cutting grass. NEVER
use for cutting any other hard plants.
• Important: To prolong the life of the nylon line avoid
contact with trees, stones, walls, fences and other
hard surfaces.
1. Begin cutting at full throttle, hovering the spool
assembly just o the ground while making arc shaped
sweeping actions through the vegetation.
2. Keep the nylon line level with the ground to avoid
scalping the ground surface.
3. When the nylon line is running at speed take care to
avoid plastic items such as garden furniture, owerpots
and other similar items to avoid damage.
• When cutting vegetation, the cutting distance from
the spool head will decrease when the line length is
deteriorating. Before the line disappears inside the
spool housing, strike the cutting head (21.1) while it is
running at speed onto a piece of suitable ground. This
will release a set amount of line from the head.
• Any excess line is automatically trimmed as it strikes
the trimming blade (20) on the underneath of the
guard (19). If the line breaks and disappears inside the
spool housing it will need to be rewound – refer to
Section 9.7.
