the fixings are holding the guard securely in position

Using Your Trimmer
Power supply
• Use of an RCD (residual current device) will reduce the chance of electric
shock when using an outdoor power tool
• If it is necessary to use an extension lead, check that the lead is
specifically intended for outdoor use

2. Place the trimmer down, and connect the mains power supply

(5), and the other on the Adjustable Secondary Handle (3). The handle
is equipped with an integrated Safety Switch (8)

Off Switch (4). The machine will run until the on/off switch is released

the trimmer

change button. To check the head is secure, attempt to rotate the head

Cutting
1. Always keep the machine at arms length, with the trimmer head
pointed away from your body
2. Move the trimmer head across the area to be trimmed using a smooth
sweeping motion
3. When approaching an edge or wall, use the roller guide to prevent

cord well away from the cutting area at all times
Feeding the trimmer line

2. Press the Spool Housing (9) gently against the ground and the spool
will release trimmer line

released by the spool
Maintenance
WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before
carrying out any maintenance/cleaning.
Spool maintenance
• After every use, ensure that all waste material is removed from the spool
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the
body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
