Assembly
It is necessary to fit the guard (7) to the lower shaft (5) and the secondary handle (4) to the upper shaft (23).
1. Ensure the switch is in the
off position and disconnect the cable plug from the mains supply.
2. Position the safety guard mount (10) at the bottom of the lower shaft. Ensure the middle hole of the mount lines up with the guard fixing point (22).
3.Place the guard split washer (19), followed by the guard washer (20) onto the guard locking screw (19), insert into the centre hole of the safety guard mount and tighten into the guard fixing point.
4.Fix the guard in place with the four fixing screws (21).
5.Fit the secondary handle (4) to the upper shaft (23) by fitting the handle over the shaft and placing the locking clamp nut (included) through the holes in the guard and tightening in the most comfortable position to the secondary handle locking knob (16).
To attach the two sections of the shaft
1.Align the two sections of the shaft and, keeping the head straight, fully insert the lower section until the shaft locking button (12) engages in the locating hole in the upper shaft. The head will be in the normal operating position.
Note. If the two shafts do not fully fit together, rotate the head of the line trimmer to assist in aligning the drive shafts.
2.Tighten the upper shaft section to the lower shaft by turning the shaft locking knob (11) clockwise and firmly gripping the shaft locking nut (17).
Fitting the carry strap
1.Hook the strap (15) to the carry strap hook (14) on the front of the handle.
2.Adjust the length of the strap as required.
Before starting
Before use, check that the tool is in good working order and that the length of the trimmer line is correct, as follows:
1.Ensure the switch is in the off position and disconnect the cable plug from the mains supply.
2.Examine the general condition of the tool. Inspect the guard, switch, cordset and extension cord. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
If abnormal noise or vibration occurs during operation, turn the line trimmer off immediately and have the problem corrected.
