SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRIC
GRASS TRIMMERS

NOTE: READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE

STARTING ANY POWER PRODUCT.

Machinery presents serious injury hazards to untrained users.

PERSONAL SAFETY

STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do not operate tool when you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.

WORK AREA

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.

• DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power Tools
create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tools plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. DO NOT use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When
operating a power tool, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.

• USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT: Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING: Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

• REMOVE: Adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.

• DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the lawnmower in
unexpected situations.

• DRESS PROPERLY: Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery;
keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

• DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL: Use the correct power tool for your
application, The correct power tools will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• DO NOT: use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools, check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended
for particular type of power tool, taking into account the working

• conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

WARNING

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this

machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity

or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and

caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety

precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.

CAUTION

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every environment

is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery

with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused, and

that the power, voltage and frequency of the motor is supported
by your mains supply. Also, make sure, that your power supply is
earthed. Connect your power tool to earth. Never open the ON/
OFF switchbox. However, if it should become necessary to do
so, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure that you will never
touch live contacts, specifically when you plug or unplug your
log splitter. This machine and its power cord must never get into
contact with water.

• Never use its power cord to move/shift your power tool. Always
unplug the power cord before handling your power tool. Do not
yank the plug out of the wall socket by the cable and protect the
latter against heat sources, oil and objects which can damage it.
Neither expose your power tool to rain and wetness.

• NOTE: When equipment like this is being started a short-time
voltage drop may occur, particularly if the mains quality is poor.
Such drops can affect other consumers (e. g. flickering of a
lamp). At a mains impedance of Zmax < 0.448 Ω, such trouble is
not to be expected.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The single-phase 230 V/50 Hz motor of this lawnmower should
be connected to a standard 230 V + 10 %/50 Hz + 1 Hz power
supply source provided with a residual-current circuit breaker.

• CAUTION: Any unprofessional use of extension cables can
cause overheating to this lawnmower. Ensure that the extension
cable is not longer than 10 m and its wire cross section is not
less than 2.5 mm². Never use uninsulated or bare cables,
respectively. The extension cable must be suitable for outdoor
use.

ASSEMBLY

The grass trimmer is supplied with some components not assembled.
To assemble these proceed as follows:

ASSEMBLING THE MOTOR HOUSING

Insert the motor housing (6) into the handgrip (5), make sure the cable
between will not be damaged.

MOUNTING THE GUARD

Align the reference indices of the body (2) of the spool holder (3) and
of the guard (4). Insert the guard in the body (up to the collar) and
rotate it in the direction indicated by the arrow until the hole of the
guard corresponds to that of the body. Firm the screws supplied (1).

CAUTION: During this operation beware of the line cutter blade.
You may be wounded.

ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE

Install the handle (4) onto the handgrip (5) with bolt and nut.

MOUNTING THE GUARD

Align the reference indices of the body (2) of the spool holder (3) and
of the guard (4). Insert the guard in the body (up to the collar) and
rotate it in the direction indicated by the arrow until the hole of the
guard corresponds to that of the body. Firm the screws supplied (1).

CAUTION: During this operation beware of the line cutter blade.
You may be wounded.

CAUTION: Never use the grass trimmer without the guard. It is vital
for your and other peoples’ safety and for the good working order of
the trimmer. The failure to observe this safety regulation is not only
dangerous but also annuls the guarantee terms.

CAUTION: Never use the grass trimmer without the guard. It is vital
for your and other peoples’ safety and for the good working order of
the trimmer. The failure to observe this safety regulation is not only
dangerous but also annuls the guarantee terms.

USE OF THE CABLE HOLDER

The handle is equipped with a cable holder that serves for connection
of the extension cable.

.

STARTING

If the trimmer is to be used for the first time, check that the nylon line
touches or passes over the cutting blade. The nylon line will be cut
automatically when turn on the switch to the maximum length. If it
does not reach the necessary length, push the head of spool with your
finger while pulling the lines.

Insert the plug into the extension cable and attach it to the handle.

Pressure the switch and make the trimmer turn at no load; thus, the
line length is automatically adjusted. Only approach the implement
to the grass to be cut while it is in operation, i.e. while the switch is
pressed down.

CAUTION: Before turn on the switch, take the blade cover away.
To cut long grass, take several small cuts. Never cut wet or very damp
grass. The line has to be protected against premature wear caused by
hard obstacles; for this purpose, keep the trimmer away from hard
surfaces using the guard’s edge as a protection. A short or worn line
will reduce cutting capacity. So, to restore the line to its optimum
length, push the implement to the ground while it is running; this way,
the line will automatically be the correct length.

CAUTION: The short or worn line cuts less efficiently therefore, to
improve its operations, unplug the electrical supply and repeat the
operation described in the beginning of the chapter. These make sure
that everything is functioning properly and to familiarize yourself with
the grass trimmer.

CAUTION: After switching off, the nylon line will continue to rotate for
a few more seconds.

GENERAL CUTTING TIPS

When cutting, ensure of a firm footing to allow for more effective
cutting & a proper discharge of the clippings. We recommend that you
cut longer grass in stages. Start at a higher cutting height & go over
the same area a second time with a lower cutting height.

DO NOT: Cut wet grass; it will stick to the blade/cutting line &
deck/guard, preventing proper discharge of trimmings.

9

LINE SPOOL REPLACEMENT

Unplug from the socket. Turn upside down the machine with the
guard facing upwards. Hold with one hand the motor fan (1) firmly and
with the other hold the spool holder (2). Push the clips of the spool
holder both side down and pull it out of the motor fan.

Extract the empty spool (3) and clean the inside of the spool holder
carefully removing all dust and grass residues.

Insert now the new spool in the motor fan and push the end of line
through the lateral holes provided on the motor fan. Push the spool
holder on and fasten it securely. Re-establish the length of the nylon
line by pushing the head of spool holder and pull the line ends out to
the desired length (approx. 10 cm).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

After reading the safety rules carefully, follow the instructions below
attentively in order to get the most out of your grass trimmer.

Start off slowly, when you have gained experience, you will be able
to use the grass trimmer to its full potential. Start the grass trimmer
before getting close to the grass to be cut. Cut the grass by moving
the grass trimmer from right to left and proceed slowly keeping the
trimmer inclined by about 15.

CAUTION: Under no circumstances wind extra line on the empty
spool but instead replace it with a new one, the same as the original.
The use of line with different characteristics to those of the original can
permanently damage the grass trimmer as well as annulling the terms
of the guarantee.

High grass should be cut in layers, always beginning from the top.
The cuts should be short.

DO NOTE: cut damp or wet grass. Dry grass will give excellent
results.

10

Always let the nylon line rotate at top speed; do not work in such a
way as to overload the trimmer.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the Grass Trimmer without the guard.
Never pass the grass trimmer over the extension cable while the grass
trimmer is running; make sure it is always in a safe position behind
your back.

Before starting work, make sure that the area to be cut is free of
stones, debris, wires and any other objects.

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance operations, cut off the electric
power supply by disconnecting the plug from the extension cable.

Regular cleaning and maintenance of you grass trimmer will ensure
efficiency and prolong the life of your machine.

After each cutting operation, take apart and clean out the grass and
soil from; the spool and its slot, the whole trimmer and in particular the
guard.

During operation, keep the air slots clean and free of grass.

Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush to clean the
grass trimmer.

DO NOT spray or wet the appliance with water. DO NOT use
detergents or solvents as these could ruin the trimmer. The parts in
plastic can easily be damaged by chemical agents. If the line cutting
blade no longer cuts or breaks, have this replaced by contacting an
authorised service centre.

CAUTION! The blade can give deep cuts. For repairs which have not
been explained in these instructions, contact an authorised service
centre.

After use, disconnect the machine from the mains and check for
damage; When not in use store the machine out of the reach of
children.
