Assembling instructions
Always take care when removing the packaging to prevent damage to you or to the grass trimmer.
IMPORTANT! Before assembling the grass trimmer, check all the parts indicated in the manual
are in the box. Inspect all the parts for signs of damage. Do not assemble the grass trimmer if you
observe any damaged components.
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for cutting weed, grass or similar soft vegetation in areas that are hard to
reach, e.g. under bushes, on slopes and edges. It may not be used to work on unusual thick, dry or
wet grass, e.g. pasture grass, or to shred leaves.
This machine is intended for private domestic use only, not for any commercial trade use. It must
not be used for any purposes other than those described.
WARNING! The guard must always be on the tool to protect the user.
1. FITTING THE GUARD (SEE FIG. A1, A2, A3)
1) Remove the mounting screw from safety guard, see FIG A1.
2) Attach the safety guard to the trimmer head, align the guard so it slides into the slots located on
the trimmer head, see FIG A2.
3) Secure the safety guard onto the trimmer head with the screw provided, see A3.
WARNING! Take great care when doing this as the guard has a very sharp cutting edge.
Never operate the tool without the guard properly in place. Use of the unit without having installed
the guard will cause the motor to overheat, and void the warranty.
