PRODUCT OPERATION
Preparing the grass trimmer for operation
Caution! Unplug the trimmer from the power supply before performing any assembly and adjustment work. Remove the battery
from the power tool socket!
Visually inspect the tool. If any damage is discovered, do not commence work before removing them.
Front handle (II) installation and adjustment
If the handle has not been fi tted, put it through the power cord cover, adjust its position and then lock it in place by tightening
the front handle lock. The position of the handle should be selected experimentally, adjusting it to the physical conditions of the
operator and the area where the trimmer will be used. The position of the handle should allow you to work with your elbows bent
and your back straight. It should also ensure freedom of movement of the trimmer in the working plane.
Installation of the cutting element guard (iii)
Insert the guard lugs into the trimmer housing and secure with a screw.
There is a blade at the edge of the guard that is used to automatically shorten the line. The cover (X) must be removed from it
before starting work.
Installation of the spacer (IV)
The spacer must be inserted into the mounting holes which are located on two sides near the cutting head.
Installation of the auxiliary wheel (V)
Slide the wheel clip into the auxiliary wheel housing.
Adjustment
In addition to adjusting the position of the front handle, the trimmer allows you to adjust the length of the power cord guard, rotate
the lower part of the power cord guard, as well as adjust the angle of the cutting head.
It is possible to smoothly adjust the length of the power cord guard which translates into the length of the entire tool. Unscrew the
height adjustment locking sleeve (VI), adjust the length, tighten the height adjustment sleeve. Make sure that the trimmer length
will not change on its own during operation.
In order to use the trimmer in a more ergonomic manner, the lower guard of the power cord can be rotated. To do this, pull back
the lock in the direction of the arrow (VII), hold and then rotate. Two positions are possible for locking 0 degrees and 180 degrees.
Lower the locking ring and ensure that it has returned to its initial position and that the position of the power cord cover has been
locked in its new position. In addition, it is possible to adjust the angle of the cutting head. To do this, press the button located on
the head (VIII). This will release the lock and the internal spring will start the rotation of the cutting head. Manually rotate the head
until it locks into the new position. The previous position is restored by pressing the button and then manually rotating the head
until the original position lock is engaged.
When using the trimmer, for vertical edge trimming (IX), an auxiliary wheel fi xed in the edge of the cutting element guard can be
used to help guide the trimmer. During normal horizontal grass cutting, it is advisable to unfold the spacer, located at the front of
the cutting head. It will make it easier to protect the vertical surface from line impact.
