Global Machinery Company RM1000 Switching on and off, Trimming, Changing the line and spool

3.Ensure that you are on a flat surface and have secure footing.

4.Check that the line touches or goes beyond the edge of the guard.

WARNING. For your own safety

when adjusting the length of the line, avoid coming into contact with the line cutting blade (8) which is fixed to the guard. It is extremely sharp. Keep your hands well away from this area.

Switching on and off

1.Connect the plug to the power supply.

Starting

2.Depress the lock-off button (13) and squeeze the trigger switch (3).

Stopping

3.When you release the trigger, the machine turns off and the lock-off button re-engages to prevent accidental operation.

WARNING. The tool runs for approximately 5 seconds after it has been switched off. Let the motor come to a complete standstill before setting the tool down.

Trimming

1.Make sure that the work area is free of rocks, debris, lines and other foreign objects.

2.To start the line trimmer, first push the lock-off button

(13) and then press the trigger switch (3). To switch off the trimmer simply release the starting switch. Start the machine before approaching the grass to be cut.

3.Short or worn line cuts less efficiently, so to improve its operation tap the spool lightly on the ground while the trimmer is running at full speed. This will activate the self- adjustment of the cutting line to the correct length.

Note. To feed out line when you bump the base of

the trimmer, the line trimmer must be operating close to full speed.

A spring-loaded button on the spool holder is depressed when the trimmer is “bumped” and this releases line due to the inertial force of the spinning spool. If too much line is fed out and it projects beyond the guard edge, it is cut by the blade in the guard. It is only necessary to replace line that is broken during use. Do not “bump” to excess as it wastes line. It takes a little practice and experience to judge when to “bump”.

Note. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Dry grass will give excellent results.

Note. Always let the line trimmer rotate at top speed, do not work in such a way as to overload the trimmer.

4.Cut the grass by swinging the machine from right to left and proceed slowly keeping the trimmer inclined forwards at an angle of about 30º.

5.High grass should be cut in layers always beginning from the top. Do not cut damp or wet grass. Do not overload your machine.

6.Avoid wearing the line out quickly by knocking against hard objects (stones, walls, fences etc.).

7.Watch out for kickbacks in the event of impact with hard objects.

WARNING. Never pass the machine over the extension cable while the machine is running. Make sure it is always in a safe position behind your back.

Changing the line and spool

1.Disconnect the trimmer from the power supply.

2.Turn the machine upside down, so you have access to the cutting line in the trimming head.

3.Whilst holding the trimming head (6), turn the spool (9)
