7. OPERATION

Grip rear handle and press trigger lock-off button (A) with thumb then pull trigger switch (B)

(see pic 6). Switch off the trimmer by pulling of the trigger switch.

Turning on the machine

Before starting the grass trimmer for the first time, check that the nylon lines touch or pass

over the wire cutting blade. If they are not long enough:

- Press the spool button (see pic 7)

- Pull more nylon wires to lengthen. (see pic 7)

The lengthened nylon line will be cut to size automatically by the wire cutting blade once the

lawn trimmer is turned on.

During use, the nylon line will become shortened or worn. To automatically lengthen or

advance the nylon cutting line, tap the spool button lightly on ground (while the unit is

running). (see pic 8)

These operations should be repeated a few times before starting work to make sure that

everything is functioning properly and to familiarize yourself with the grass trimmer. Start off

slowly, when you have gained experience, you will be able to use the grass trimmer to its full

potential.

The length of the grass trimmer can be infinitely varied and therefore adjusted to your

individual height (see pic 9)

- Hold the tube with one hand, and then loosen the adjusting bolt.

- Set the handle to the correct length and tighten the adjusting bolt.

Replace the spool of nylon line

Switch off the trimmer and wait for all parts to stop moving.

Remove the battery pack.

Remove the spool assembly from the trimmer. To do so, hold the outer ribbed part of the

assembly with one hand, while pushing down and turning the spool head with the other to

unlock it (see pic 10). The spool carrier and spool will now disassemble easily.

Note: There is a spring inside the head that could easily be lost. Ensure that it is put in a

safe place.

Choose either OPTION 1 or OPTION 2 below for spool or line replacement.

- OPTION 1: ACCESSORY REPLACEMENT SPOOL

Use replacement spool

Insert the line through the eyelet in the spool carrier and slide the spool into it. (see pic 11)

Making sure to insert the spring, assemble the spool and spool carrier back onto the trimmer.

To do so, push the head on and turn it clockwise until it locks. (see pic 12)

16EN Operation

To test if the line is advancing properly, push the button with your thumbs while pulling the

wire with your fingers. The line should advance freely.

- OPTION 2: REWINDING SPOOL USING LINE

To install line, follow the steps below:

- Insert one end of line into the hole in the spool as shown in picture 13 about 3 mm.

- Snugly and evenly wind the line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow on the spool

(see pic 13), until the line builds up to the notches in the spool rim. Do not overfill spool.

The spool holds about 6.5 m of line.

Note: Line for your trimmer is available at extra cost from your local dealer.

Charging the battery (see pic 14)

The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power

on jobs that were easily done before. The battery may become warm while charging; this is

normal and does not indicate a problem.

Note: After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity.

Note: DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW 4ºC OR ABOVE

40ºC. RECOMMENDED CHARGING TEMPERATURES: APPROX. 24ºC.

Connect the charger (2) to the charger station (3).

Plug the charger into an appropriate AC power outlet. The LED (4) lights green to tell you that

the charger is ready for use.

Insert the battery pack (1) into the charger station (3) as shown in picture 13. Make sure the

battery pack is fully seated in the charger station. The LED (4) lights red to tell you that the

battery pack is on charge.

The battery pack will be fully charged in about 4 hours. And the LED (4) lights green again to

tell you that the battery pack is fully charged.

Important charging notes

Note: Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged

when the air temperature is between 18-24°C. Do not charge the battery pack in a very low

or very high air temperature. This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery

pack.

When using your tool continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You

should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to

recharge

The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal

condition, and does not indicate a problem.

Use the charger in normal room temperatures whenever possible. To prevent overheating, do

not cover the charger and do not charge battery packs in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
