Usage Features:
- Safety First: Before using, users must read the operating manual, all safety warnings, and instructions, including site rules and regulations for accident prevention. Failure to comply may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Battery Operation: The trimmer is cordless, powered by a 40V lithium-ion battery. Batteries are not fully charged on delivery and must be charged prior to initial operation using the specified charger (EBC05).
- Assembly:
- Guard Installation: The guard must be installed by loosening screws, placing the guard on the motor housing, aligning holes, and tightening screws. The trimmer should never be operated without the guard in position.
- Handlebar Attachment: The handlebar attaches to the foam tube. It can be adjusted to the required position by loosening and securing a locking lever.
- Split Shaft Assembly: The trimmer length can be adjusted to the user's height by inserting the shafts together.
- Blade Attachment: Two replacement blades are inserted onto slots on the underside of the cutting head. Blades are replaced by rotating and pushing inwards to lift off the locating knob, then reversing the process to install new blades firmly.
- Operating Angle Adjustment: Five operating angles can be adjusted on the lawn trimmer, allowing access to problematic and difficult-to-reach areas in the garden. The cutting head should always be parallel to the ground.
- Operating Mode (Clearance Cutting): The cutting head is guided parallel to the ground. When clearance cutting, the trimmer should be guided in a semi-circle in front of the body.
- Battery Insertion/Replacement: The charged battery is pressed into the power tool until it clicks into place. To remove, the release button is pressed, and the battery is pulled out.
- Switching On/Off: To switch on, first press and hold the switch interlock, then pull the On/Off switch. To switch off, release the On/Off switch. A rotating blade caution is given, as the blade continues running softly after being switched off.
- Battery State of Charge: A button allows checking the battery's charge state via an LED indicator. If the LED lights red, the battery needs recharging. If the LED does not light up after pressing the button, the battery is faulty and must be replaced.
- Work Instructions:
- Attach the shoulder belt and pull it over the head.
- Hold the unit with both hands: one on the rear handle, the other on the handlebar.
