Bedryfsinstruksies

Starting the Engine (Cold Start)

1. Plaas die trimmer op 'n plat, stabiele oppervlak.
2. Move the choke lever to the 'COLD START' position.
3. Druk die aanjaerbol 'n paar keer totdat brandstof in die terugvoerlyn sigbaar is.
4. Trek die aansittertou stewig en glad totdat die enjin probeer om te begin (gewoonlik 1-2 trekke).
5. Once the engine 'coughs' or attempts to start, move the choke lever to the 'RUN' position.
6. Pull the starter rope again until the engine starts and runs smoothly.
7. Laat die enjin vir 'n paar oomblikke warm word voordat jy die versneller inskakel.

Gebruik die Trimmer

• Hou die trimmer stewig met albei hande vas en handhaaf 'n gebalanseerde houding.
• Keep the trimmer head parallel to the ground for an even cut.
• Maintain a safe distance from objects, people, and animals.
• Avoid hitting hard surfaces, rocks, or metal objects with the trimmer line, as this can cause line breakage and potential damage.
