Preparing the trimmer for use (Fig. 2)

• Take the trimmer and the guard (6) out of

the box.

• Remove the guard screw (22) which is

located on the base of the trimmer body

(1) (Fig. 2.1).

• Place the guard into the channel on the

trimmer body.

• Push the guard fully home, on one side

first, until the guard is flush with the body.

Repeat for the other side (Fig. 2.2).

• Replace the guard screw (Fig. 2.3).

• If correctly assembled, the guard will now

be secured to your trimmer.

• In transit, your trimmer is packed in

‘Edging’ mode, if you want to ‘Trim’ refer

to the section ‘How to convert between

the trimming and edging mode’.

• In transit, the end of the cutting line (5) is

taped to the side of the spool cover (8).

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 (12)

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 (7) 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 - K)

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 by

experience and by following these simple rules.

Do not use your trimmer without

its guard.

Do not cut wet grass; best results are

achieved when the grass is dry.

Trimming

• To switch on your trimmer, squeeze the

trigger switch (21).

• To switch the unit off, release the

trigger switch.

• To carry the trimmer when not in use,

it is preferred that you use the secondary

handle (2).

Cut at an angle and with the tip of the

cutting line (5).

Swing the trimmer gently from side to side.

Do not overload the trimmer. It operates best

at high speeds.

On long grass, start at the top.

Take small cuts.

Use the edge of the guard (6) to keep the

trimmer away from hard surfaces and

delicate items.

Edging

Best results are achieved on edges greater

than 50mm deep.

Note: Your trimmer is a maintenance tool for

trimming overhanging grass and should not

be used to create edges. Edges can be

created using an edging spade.

With the skid (25) on the grass edge and the

edge guide (9) hooked over the edge, pull

the unit along while keeping the edge guide

in contact with the lawn edge.

A closer cut can be achieved by angling

the trimmer.

How to convert between the

trimming and edging mode

(Fig. 3)

In addition to conventional trimming (Fig. D),

your trimmer can be used to trim

overhanging grass along lawn edges and

flower beds (Fig. J).

To convert your trimmer between the

trimming and edging mode:

Unlock

• With the trimmer switched off and the

edge guide (9) resting on the ground,

place one hand on the switch handle

(20). Using your other hand, turn the

locking ring (4) anti-clockwise, as far as

it will go (approximately quarter of a turn)

(Fig. 3.1).

Convert

• While keeping hold of the switch handle,

grasp the trimmer body (1) and rotate

half a turn in the direction of the arrow

(24), until the body ‘clicks’ into position

(Fig. 3.2).
