Remove the socket head screw from the guard
hood. Push the guard hood (15) onto the mount
on the motor housing as far as it will go and screw
it securely in place with the previously removed
socket head screw (Fig. 3). A blade (Fig. 2/ Item

tically cuts the cutting line to the optimum length.
This is provided with a safety guard. Remove the
safety guard before starting work.
5.2 Fitting the edge guide (Fig. 4)

apart and insert the ends in the holes provided on
the left and right in the motor housing.

Hook the carabiner (B) of the harness (20) into
the strap attachment (4).
5.4 Fitting the long handle (Fig. 6)
Slot the top part of the long handle (6) into the
bottom part of the long handle (9). Screw the
handle connecting piece (7) to the bottom part of
the long handle with the union nut (8) on the top
part of the long handle.

ment before you release the harness – risk of
injury.
1. Hook the carabiner (Fig. 5/Item B) into the
strap attachment.
2. Slip the harness over your left shoulder (Fig.
9).
3. Set the length of the harness in such a way
that the cutting head runs parallel to the
ground. To establish the optimum length of
the harness, you should then make a few
swinging movements without starting the
equipment.
4. The harness is equipped with a buckle. Press
the hooks together (Fig. 10) if you need to put
down the equipment quickly.
Each time before use, check the following :
•
That the equipment is in perfect condition and
that the safety devices and cutting devices
are complete.
•
That all screws are securely fastened.
•
That all moving parts move smoothly.
5.8 Installing the battery
Push the rechargeable batteries into the batte-
ry mounts provided on the left and right on the
equipment (Fig. 2/Item 1). The battery will be
