Overview

This document provides the original instructions for the YARD FORCE 40V Cordless Line Trimmer models LT G33A & LT G33W. It covers various aspects of the device, from its basic function and parts to detailed usage, safety, and maintenance procedures.

Function Description

The YARD FORCE 40V Cordless Line Trimmer is designed for cutting grass, similar soft vegetation in areas that are hard to reach, such as under bushes, on slopes, and edges. It is specifically intended for private domestic use only and not for commercial or industrial applications. The trimmer operates on a 40V battery pack, providing cordless convenience for lawn and garden maintenance. Its primary function is to trim grass and light weeds using a nylon cutting line, which is automatically fed as it wears down during operation. The device is equipped with a safety guard to protect the user from thrown objects and a flower protection feature to prevent damage to delicate plants and garden furniture.

Usage Features

The trimmer offers several features to enhance its usability and performance:

  • Cordless Operation: Powered by a 40V battery pack, the trimmer provides freedom of movement without the restriction of power cords, making it ideal for larger gardens or areas without easy access to power outlets.
  • Adjustable Cutting Width: The trimmer allows for adjustment of the cutting width to three different diameters (280 mm, 300 mm, 330 mm), enabling users to select the appropriate width for various trimming tasks. This adjustment is made by simply moving a knob to the desired position.
  • Dual Speed Control: The device features a dual-speed setting (low and high speed), allowing the user to choose the optimal speed for different types of vegetation and cutting conditions, thus conserving battery life when less power is needed.
  • Automatic Line Feed: The grass trimmer comes with a full line spool. As the nylon cutting line wears down during work, it is automatically increased by centrifugal force when the machine is switched on. The line is then cut to the correct length by a blade on the safety guard.
  • Ergonomic Design: The trimmer includes a main handle and an auxiliary handle, designed for comfortable and secure grip during operation. The quick-action clamp lever allows for easy adjustment of the additional handle to a desired position and angle.
  • Flower Protection: A dedicated flower protection feature can be pushed into the motor housing to shield flowers and garden furniture from accidental contact with the cutting line. It can be easily removed by pulling it out.
  • Battery Indicator: The Li-Ion battery pack is equipped with a power indicator (LED lights) that shows the remaining charge, allowing users to monitor battery status and plan recharging accordingly. The LEDs stay lit for approximately 4 seconds when the power indicator button is pressed.
  • Easy Battery Insertion and Removal: The battery pack is designed for straightforward insertion and removal from both the trimmer and the charger. Users align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the grooves of the tool/charger and push until a click sound is heard, indicating it's locked in position.
  • Wall-Mountable Charger: The charger features hanging holes, allowing it to be conveniently mounted on a wall, saving space and keeping the charging area organized.
  • Safety Button and Trigger Switch: The trimmer is operated by pressing down and holding a safety button with the palm, and then squeezing the on/off trigger switch simultaneously. Releasing the trigger switch turns the unit off.
  • Working Advice for Cutting Grass: For optimal performance, the trimmer should be held at a safe distance from the body, adopting a safe stance. It is recommended to guide the trimmer at an angle of about 20° to the ground in a semi-circular motion. For high grass, cutting in stages, starting from the tip, is advised.
  • Trimming Edges: When trimming edges, the grass trimmer should be guided along the edge of the lawn. The edge of the guard can be used as a guide when cutting near fences and walls. Users are advised to avoid contact with paved surfaces, stone, or garden walls to prevent rapid wear of the cutting line.
  • Tips for Best Results: To achieve the best results, it is recommended not to cut wet grass, as it tends to stick to the cutting head and guard, hindering proper discharge of trimmings and potentially causing slips. Special attention should be paid when working near trees and bushes to avoid damaging sensitive bark or fence posts. The flower protection can be used to prevent the cutting device from contacting hard objects like walls and kerbstones.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the YARD FORCE Cordless Line Trimmer:

  • Pre-Maintenance Safety: Before performing any repair work or maintenance, it is imperative to remove the battery pack and wait until the cutting line has come to a complete standstill.
  • Cleaning: The unit should not be sprayed with water, as ingress of water can damage the battery pack and electric motor. Instead, the unit should be cleaned thoroughly with a cloth and a hand brush.
  • Tightening Fasteners: All nuts, bolts, and screws must be kept tight to ensure the equipment remains in a safe working condition.
  • Part Replacement: Worn or damaged parts should be replaced for safety.
  • Battery Maintenance:
    • Protect the battery against moisture and water.
    • Store the battery within a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C. Avoid leaving it in a vehicle or in direct sunlight.
    • Clean the ventilation slots of the battery occasionally with a soft, clean, and dry brush.
    • If the operating time after charging is significantly shortened, it indicates that the battery is exhausted and needs replacement.
    • For long-term storage, the battery pack should be charged and discharged once every six months.
  • Storage: After cleaning, the machine should be stored in a dry place. No other objects should be placed on top of the machine.
  • Transport: When transporting the device, it is recommended to use the original packaging whenever possible to protect it from damage.
  • Replacing the Nylon Line Spool: The manual provides clear instructions for replacing the nylon line spool. This involves pressing together the locking devices at the spool cover, removing the old spool, threading the new line through the eyehole, inserting the new spool into the trimmer head, and then clicking the spool cover back into position. Users are warned against using steel, wire, rope, or string as cutting material, as these can break off and become dangerous missiles.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section that lists common faults, their causes, and remedies. This allows users to diagnose and fix minor issues themselves, such as a discharged battery, incorrect battery pack installation, or accumulated grass in the line spool. For more complex issues, users are advised to contact a service partner.
  • Genuine Spare Parts: Users are instructed to use only genuine spare parts, as these are designed and suitable for the product, ensuring safety and maintaining warranty validity.
  • Warranty Information: The product comes with a 2-year parts and labor warranty against manufacturing defects, while the battery pack and charger are covered by a 1-year warranty. The warranty outlines conditions under which it applies and exclusions, such as misuse, unauthorized repairs, or commercial use. Contact information for service is provided.
