ENGLISH
7.2 Starting a warm engine
1. Place thegrass trimmer on ahard and level surface.
2. Press in thetrigger lockout (6) and thetrigger (7), then press in thethrottle lock (9) on theinside of
the handle so that thethrottle stays pressed in.
3. Switch theignition switch (5) to I.
4. The choke lever (13) should be down in theopen position (choke off).
5. Pull thestarter handle gently until you feel some resistance and then pull it rapidly until theengine starts.
7.3 Switching the engine off
Release thethrottle (7) and let theengine revs drop to idling speed, and then push theignition switch (5)
forward to 0.
8. Use
Note!
• Hold thegrass trimmer with both hands.
• Depress thethrottle and let theengine speed up.
• Hold thetrimmer head parallel to theground and sweep thegrass trimmer from side to side whilst slowly
walking forwards. Advance more slowly if thegoing gets heavy.
• Do not move thetrimmer head towards you, always work away from yourself.
• Caution! Remove all objects such as cans, bottles and stones from theground before starting to use
the grass trimmer, otherwise they can be thrown about by thetrimmer line and cause injury or damage
the trimmer.
• Switch off thegrass trimmer at once and check it for damage if you notice that something is ejected or
if thegrass trimmer starts vibrating. Do not operate thegrass trimmer if it has been damaged.
• Note! Allow theengine to reach full speed before starting to cut thegrass, never try to cut grass/brush
at low speed.
• Caution! Never raise thebrush blade/trimmer head above knee-height when it is spinning.
• Caution! Never use metal or plastic coated metal trimmer line, this could cause serious accidents.
8.1 Trimming round trees and bushes
Lean thetrimmer head forward slightly and start trimming from left to right whilst slowly walking around thetree.
Be careful, so thetrimmer line doesn’t cut thebark of thetree or theplants that you want to keep!
If you trim grass close to fences, foundations, rocks, etc; thetrimmer line will soon wear out.
8.2 Preparing the ground (removing all vegetation)
• Angle thetrimmer head approx. 30 degrees to theleft (it is easier if you loosen theloop handle and adjust it).
• Do not do this if there is theslightest risk of something being flung up and injuring people or animals
standing within a30-metre radius.
