Tramontina AP500S Manual De Uso página 14

height adjustment on the telescopic tube (model APR1000)
With the button unlocked, [Fig. 05, Pag. 05]. Move the bottom of the tube to adjust the height of the trimmer
as required [Fig. 06, Pag. 05]. Shaft adjustable to 13 positions (26 cm variation).
Keep the switch pressed down and lift the trimmer about 3 cm from the ground. In this position move slowly
the trimmer from one side to another to promote the trimming of the grass.
Never use the trimmer without the protector or when it is damaged, since the protector helps in the refrigeration
of the motor, limits the length of the nylon string and is a safety device for the operator.
It is recommended to give an interval for rest of 2 minutes after 15 minutes of continuous use, thus ensuring
greater useful life to the motor and thus preventing an overload.
This equipment is recommended for occasional use (domestic use) in lawns of up to 50 square meters
(AP500S model) and 100 square meters (AP700, AP1000 and APR1000 models), to do the outlines,
!
edges and corners. The area may be larger or smaller depending on conditions of use: type of grass,
height of grass, the temperature, humidity, etc.
Do not use on humid or wet grass.
Do not overload the trimmer by entering into tall grass. If needed, carry out several cuts starting on top
and going down to smaller cuts.
!
Inspect and perform maintenance regularly on the trimmer. Any maintenance must be performed by an
authorized technician.
!
For any maintenance and control operation, the electric cable must be disconnected from the outlet.
Spool Refill
Keep the spool housing (1) fixed and turn the top cover of the spool (2) in the counterclockwise direction [Fig. 7, Pag. 06].
Remove the used spool (3) and place the new spool, causing the string to pass through top cover output opening
of the spool [Fig. 8, Pag. 06].
Then replace the assembly top cover and spool (4) pressing it against the spool housing (1), and turning it in the
clockwise direction until the latch snaps [Fig. 09, Pag. 06].
nylon String Reload
Use only nylon string in the recommended diameter 1.3 (AP500S) or 1.8 mm (other models) and length of 6 meters
(AP500S) or 8 meters (other models). The spool can be reloaded, as follows:
AP500S
Remove the spool (3) and the spool protection clamp (4) and coil the string. Then pass the nylon string through
the protection clamp. Replace the protection clamp on the spool and then the spool in the trimmer's spool holder
[Fig. 10, Pag. 06].
AP700, AP1000 and APR1000
Fit the string into the spool opening (1) according to figure [Fig. 11, Pag. 06].
Coil the string in the direction indicated by the reel's arrow (2), [Fig. 12, Pag. 06] as uniformly as possible, obeying
8 metres as the maximum length recommended.
Replacement Parts
It is recommended that the replacement parts and nylon string spools are of the same model and brand
13
Tramontina. The string used in the spools is special for this function.
