Safety instructions after completing work
• Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before
cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection.
Remove the battery from the machine.
SavE mode
The machine is equipped with a battery saving function
(SavE). Activate the function by pressing the SavE button.
A green LED will light to indicate that the function is on.
In most cases SavE mode is the most optimum when
tr
imming and gives longest runtime. Release the power
trigger after each working operation to save battery
power.
Rotation direction
It is possible to change the rotation direction of the
trimmer head in any position, at full speed or at stop
postion.
When the rotation button is pressed, the green diode will
lit and the tr
immer head rotates in counterclockwise. The
trimmer head always rotates clockwise by default (green
LED is off).
It is easier to tap out the trimmer line to make it longer
when the tr
immer head rotates clockwise.
Automatic switch off functionality
The machine is equipped with a shutdown feature that
deactivates the machine if not used. The green LED and
the machine will switch off after 1 minute.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming
• Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the line that does the work. Let
the line work at its own pace. Never press the line into
the area to be cut.
• The line can easily remove grass and weeds up
against w
alls, fences, trees and borders. However it
can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,
and damage fence posts.
• Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
line to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
!
WARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the motor
is running or the cutting attachment is
rotating, as this can result in serious
injury.
Turn off the machine and remove the
battery before removing materials that
are wound around the trimmer head as
otherwise there is risk of injury. The
bevel gear can get hot during use and
may remain so for a while afterwards. You
could get burnt if you touch it.
!
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attachment
guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be
thrown up into the eyes causing
blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a
distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the
safety zone of 15 metres. Stop the
machine immediately if anyone
approaches. Never swing the machine
around without first checking behind you
to make sure no-one is within the safety
zone.
!
WARNING! Sometimes branches or
grass get caught between the guard and
cutting attachment. Always remove the
battery before cleaning.
