Check before starting
For safety reasons follow these recommendations!
•
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed
at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The
most common reason why cracks are formed is that
sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the
teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been
used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are
found.
•
Check that the support flange is not cracked due to
fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard
the support flange if it is cracked.
•
Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force.
The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5
Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be
35-50 Nm.
•
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or
cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to
impact or is cracked.
•
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are
not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or

Starting
Turn on the machine. Press and hold the start button (>1
sec.) until the green LED is lit.
Use the power trigger to control the speed.
IMPORTANT! The cutting attachment being used will be
identified once the machine has been activated and the
throttle depressed. When changing the cutting
attachment from e.g. a trimmer head to a grass blade,
the machine will stop and the LED lamp will flash until
the throttle is released to its original position. The cutting
attachment has now been identified and the machine is
ready to use.
