dangerous missile that can cause serious injury.
TRIMMING (SEE FIG.J)
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 8 cm
above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the
tip of line to make contact. Do not force trimmer
line into work area..
When trimming, cut from left to right to cut
efficiently. This throws the clippings away from the
operator.
EDGING (SEE FIG.K)
To edge, rotate the upper shaft with rear handle
1800, place the edge guide and trimmer head
above the surface you are going to edge, as
shown in Fig. K.
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small
length of line is fed out.
A 'clattering' noise will be heard when the lines hit
the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is quit
normal. After about 5 seconds the line will be cut
to the correct length and the noise will reduce as
the motor receives full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can't be heard,
more line will be fed out.
To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the
trimmer to stop completely, then restart, allowing
the motor to reach full speed.
Repeat above 4 until you hear the lines hitting
against the line cutter. (Do not repeat this
procedure more than 6 times)
TO MANUALLY FEED THE LINE (SEE FIG L. M)
If required, line can be fed out manually.
To operate, press and release manual line feed
button, whilst gently pull out the lines until the lines
reach the line cutter.
When the required amount of line is fed out, gently
pull on the second line (there is no need to press
the manual line feed button again)
If the line extends past the line cutter, too much
line has been fed out.
If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap
and click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the
desired length.
TO REMOVE THE CAP
Press and hold in the two latches(13).
Pull cap away from the spool holder
WHEN REFITTING THE SPOOL CAP.
Keep all areas of the cap and spool holder clean.
Replace the cap, pressing firmly down towards the
spool holder to ensure cap is fully located.
Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to
remove it without depressing the two latches.
TO REPLACE CUT LINE.
For your convenience it is recommended you buy
spool and line complete.
TO FIT SPOOL AND LINE COMPLETE:
Remove old spool.
Place new spool into cutting head.Release one
line from cleat and feed line through eyelet .
Repeat for second line.
Refit the cap.
TO FIT NYLON LINE ONLY:
WARNING! Your Trimmer is designed to
use only line with a maximum diameter of
1.45mm
IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the
upper section of the spool first.
Take approximately 3 metres of line. Insert 15mm
of line into one of the holes in the upper section
of the spool and wind line in the direction of the
arrows on the top of the spool.
Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and
place into cleat. Repeat on lower section of spool.
Care should be taken to ensure that the line is
neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will
impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed.
Then fit spool as described in "To fit spool and
line complete".
