GUARD
Line Trimmer Assembly
Installing the Trimmer Guard
The trimmer guard is an essential part of the line trimmer and must
ALWAYS be used to prevent damage to the trimmer and injury to
the operator. The guard is not attached to the trimmer when it is
delivered to avoid damage in transit. To attach the guard, loosen
and remove the 4 screws from the underside of motor housing (see
Figure 1). Place the guard on the motor housing 1 and align the
bores vertically. Screw in the 4 screws and tighten 2.
Attaching the Running Wheel
Insert the running wheel into the holder on the left side of motor
housing and press, until it clicks (see Figure 2). To dismantle, the
retaining tab may be opened with a suitable tool.
Attaching the Plant Guard
The plant guard protects shrubs, trees and bedding plants. Insert
the plant guard into the holes of motor housing (see Figure 3). The
plant guard can be folded up when it is not needed (see Figure 4).
Figure 2
Figure 3
Assembling and adjusting the shoulder belt
Open retaining hook and hook onto the fastening eye on the
housing (see Figure 5). Adjust the shoulder belt to your height (see
Figure 6).

Set the handlebar
Adjust the handlebar to the height of the user (see Figure
8). Loosen the locking lever on the handlebar 1. Set the
handlebar to the required position 2. Secure the handlebar by
folding down the locking lever.
Set the operating angle
Five operating angles can be adjusted on the lawn trimmer (See
Figure 9). This allows you to easily reach places in the garden
which are problematic and difcult to access. The cutting head
should always be parallel to the ground. Press the locking
button 1. Set the required operating angle 2. Release the
locking button.
Inserting/Replacing the Battery
Charge the battery as described in the charger operation
manual. Attach the charged battery into the power tool by
positioning, aligning and then sliding the battery into the power
receptacle on the line trimmer until it clicks into place (see
Figure 10). To remove, press the release button and pull out the
battery.

Operation
Automatic line advance
You can advance the cutting line without stopping the motor. To
advance more cutting line, gently tap the cutting head on the
ground while running the lawn trimmer (see Figure 14). The line
blade in the guard cuts the line back to the correct length if too
much cutting line is advanced. It is best to bounce the cutting head
on bare ground or hard earth.
Figure 14
Work instructions
1. Attach the shoulder belt to the unit. Pull the shoulder belt over
your head. Hold the unit with both hands: one hand on the rear
handle, the other hand on the handlebar.
2. Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground and make
sweeping movements from side to side. Walk slowly forwards.
3. Use only the tip of the line for cutting, especially along walls.
If more than the tip is used for cutting, the cutting capacity is
reduced and the engine may overload.
4. Cut grass which is taller than 20 cm from the top down in
small stages to prevent premature wear of the line and engine
resistance.
5. Cut dry grass and weeds only.
6. The trim line may break by becoming entangled with foreign
objects, normal material fatigue, attempting to cut thick-stalked
weeds, striking walls, garden fences, etc.
