7 ASSEMBLING
The grass trimmer is supplied with some components not assembled. To assemble these
proceed as follows:
7.1 Mounting the guard (Fig 1)
Screw the protective shield to the device with the 2 screws.
Caution! During this operation beware of the wire 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 these safety regulations is not only dangerous but
also annuls the guarantee terms.
8 OPERATION
8.1 Correct posture
Hold the device:
 With the left hand on the front handle;
 with the right hand on the operating handle at approx. hip height;
 balanced in a comfortable position.
8.2 Starting/stopping the device (Fig 2)
 To start, press the safety switch (1) and the on/off switch (2);
 to stop, release the safety switch (1) and the on/off switch (2)
8.3 Information regarding cutting
 Only cut with the left-hand part of the cutting area when moving the device from right to
left.
 In the right-hand part,the cords rotate in your direction:

Here there is a high risk of return stroke and objects may be slung in your direction by the
rotation of the cord.This may cause injury.
 When moving the device from left to right, you must keep the cord away from the grass, so
that no grass is slung away.
 Always cut long grass from top to bottom so that it cannot wind itself around the spool.
 Cut with care:
 Only use the tip of the cord. This uses less cord and avoids grass being caught in the
spool.
 Only hold the cord as closely as necessary to posts, walls, fences and similar objects
because this can wear out the cord very quickly.
 Bark, young trees and bushes can be damaged by the cord.
8.4 Extending the cord
If the device no longer cuts cleanly, the cords have become too short.
You can achieve the best cutting results when you extend the cords until they are cut by the
cutting knife to the right length.
8.5 Extending the cords during cutting operation
 Briefly tap the bottom of the cord spool on the floor while the device is running.
 If not extended far enough, tap once again.
 The cords will automatically be cut to the right length by the cutting knife.
