• Only fit 13 amp BS1363A approved

plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse.

• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be

marked at the connection points of most

good quality plugs. Attach the wires to

their respective points in the plug (see

below). Brown is for 'Live' (L) and blue is

for 'Neutral' (N).

• Before replacing the top cover of the

mains plug ensure that the cable restraint

is holding the outer sheath of the cable

firmly and that the two leads are correctly

fixed at the terminal screws.

• Warning! Never connect Live or Neutral

wires to Earth pin marked E or .

Fuse replacement - UK only

Your machine is supplied with cable fitted

with a non-wireable plug.

• The plug is fitted with a 5 amp fuse

which is the recommended fuse for

your machine.

• Only use replacement fuses which are

approved to BS1362.

• When changing the fuse in your plug,

always ensure the fuse cover is refitted.

If the fuse cover is missing or damaged

do not use the plug.

Note: Fuses do not give personal protection

against electric shock.

Increased safety can be obtained by having

a qualified electrician install a high sensitivity

(30mA) circuit breaker in the house wiring.

If you do not have such a circuit breaker

installed, or you do not wish to have one

installed, then we strongly recommend that

the electrical power to the machine be

supplied through a high sensitivity residual

current device (RCD). The RCD is designed

to provide a high degree of personal

protection against harmful electric current

should fault conditions occur.

Warning! The use of an RCD or other circuit

breaker unit does not release the operator of

the machine from the safety instructions and

safe working practices given in this manual.

Extension cables or cordsets

You can use up to 30 metres (100ft) of 2-core

extension cord without undue loss of power.

Extension cords and cordsets should comply with

national regulations.

Preparing the trimmer for use

(Fig. 2)

• Take the trimmer and the guard (10) out

of the box.

• Remove the guard screw (12) which is

located on the underside of the guard

(Fig. 2.1).

• Place the guard into the channel on the

trimmer body (Fig. 2.2).

• Push the guard fully home until the guard

is flush with the body (Fig. 2.3).

• Replace the guard screw (Fig. 2.4).

• If correctly assembled, the guard will now

be secured to your trimmer.

• In transit, the end of the cutting line (9)

is taped to the side of the spool cover.

Please discard the tape to release the

length of line. There should be a

minimum of 9cm (3.5") of cutting line

protruding from the spool housing

before using your trimmer.

Note: When your machine is operated for

the first time any excess line will be cut off by

the line trimming blade (8) housed in the

guard. This is also the case for any

subsequent line adjustment. Because line

cut off by the blade in the guard may be

ejected, it is important that the amount of

excess line is kept to a minimum. Where an

excessive amount of line is pulled out, the

line should be cut back to the outside of the

guard before switching on your trimmer. Cut

the line off on the trimmer blade by hand.

• Always ensure that the spool cover is

secure before and after use.

How to use your trimmer (Fig. A - J)

In order to get the most from your trimmer please be

sure to follow the techniques shown. Do not be

impatient; you will obtain the best results through

experience and by following these simple rules.
