Cutting devices contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. INTENDED USE The product is only intended for use outdoors. For safety reasons the product MUST be adequately controlled by using the two-handed operation. The product is designed for home or domestic use. It is intended to cut and trim lawn/grass edges. It should be used in dry, well illuminated conditions. It is NOT intended to cut hedges, trees or branches. It should not be used for any other purpose than line trimming.

Even when the product is used as described, it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The

following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following: 1. The blades cannot be guarded whilst cutting. Contact with the blades can cause serious injury. Keep the blade away from yourself and others. Cover it with the blade protector whenever not in use. 2. Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for the job, use designated handles and restrict working time and exposure. 3. Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure RISK REDUCTION It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration: 1. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome. 2. After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation. 3. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day. If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately stop use and see your doctor about these symptoms. WARNING: Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks. DANGER OF FIRE! Never charge batteries in the vicinity of acids or easily flammable materials. Charge battery only at a temperature bet-ween 10 - 45 °C. After a heavy load, first allow the battery to cool. DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Protect the device from direct exposure to heat and fire. Do not place on heating units or expose to strong sunlight for an extended period. Operate the device only at temperatures between -10 °C to + 45 °C.. RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT! For disposal, transport or storage, pack the battery in a plastic bag or a cardboard box, or isolate the contacts with adhesive tape. Do not open the battery pack.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Ensure the battery is housed in the trimmer, with an audible click. Switching on: 1. Push in the safety button with your thumb. 2. Pull the On/Off trigger upwards. 3. Release safety button. Switching off: 1. Release the On/Off trigger. NYLON LINE Your trimmer uses 1.6mm diameter nylon line to cut grass and weeds quickly and easily. In time, the tip of the nylon line will become worn and the auto feed mechanism will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. The cutting line will wear faster if the cutting is done along pathways or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut. The line will extend approximately ¼ in. with each stop and start of the switch trigger until the line reaches the length of the guard blade. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purpose. AUTOFEED NYLON LINE When switching on the line trimmer, the inertia of the head spinning will feed a small length of line out. An ‘impact’ noise can be heard when the nylon line hits the cutting knife, located on the shield. After a minimal period, the nylon line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor reaches operation speed. Make sure the motor is up to full speed before trimming or edging. If the noise of the nylon line being cut cannot be heard, more line will need to be fed out. To feed more line, it is first necessary to allow the machine to stop completely, then re-start, allowing it to reach full speed. MANUAL FEED NYLON LINE You can manually feed out the nylon line. To do this, press & release manual feed button, whilst pulling on the nylon line. Feed until the line reaches the cutting knife. If the line extends past the cutting knife, remove the spool cap and click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the desired length.

LINE TRIMMING (STANDARD)

LINE TRIMMING (SLOPES & UNDER OBSTACLES) Adjust the angle of the head up or down to ensure you have a clean and unobscured cutting angle. TRIMMING EDGES Press in and hold the locking button. Rotate the cutting head 180 degrees. Release the locking button. Guide the unit, as shown, slowly along the edge of the lawn, using the side wheel. Ensure the Plant Protector is placed in the upright position, against the motor housing. INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Only cut with the left (shown here as light grey) area of the cutting unit when the unit is being moved

from right to left. In the right (dark grey) area, the threads rotate in your direction. This represents a high level of kickback risk and objects may be thrown in your direction by the rotation of the thread. You may be hurt as a result. When the unit is moved from left to right, ensure that the nylon line is kept away from the grass to ensure that the grass is not thrown up. Cut long grass from top to bottom to ensure that the grass does not get tangled around the spool. Only use the tip of the nylon line. You will use less nylon line & avoid grass getting caught up in the spool. Only take the nylon line as close as necessary to posts, walls, fences etc. Solid objects will wear the nylon line. Tree trunks, young trees and bushes may be damaged by the nylon line.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

DANGER Prior to conducting maintenance or cleaning: Remove the battery from the machine. The trimmer continues to spin after being switched off! Always remove battery before performing any work on the trimmer! Note: Clean unit immediately after. Grass debris when dry is very hard and difficult to remove. CLEANING • Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. • Make sure the battery is detached from the unit, then use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. • Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. BEFORE EACH USE What? How? Check the battery, charger and machine for damage. Conduct a visual inspection and have any faulty component replaced. IF NECESSARY What? How? Clean the device Wipe the unit with a damp cloth. Replace the nylon line if it is too short. Replace the nylon line (1.6mm) and feed following the directional arrow on the spool or replace with replacement spool and line. REPLACING SPOOL / CLEARING JAMS AND TANGLED LINES From time to time, especially when cutting thick or stocky weeds, the line feeding hub may become clogged with sap or other material and the line will become jammed as a result. To clear the jam, follow these steps. • Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. • Press the release tabs on the line spool retainer (1) and remove the cover (2) by pulling it straight off. • Remove the line spool (3). If necessary, remove any dirt. • Extend the line jammed or tangled out of the spool fitting (4). • Insert the spool in the line receptacle (5). • Thread the end of the line through the eyelet of the spool retainer (6). • Firmly press both tabs of the spool cover together at the same time and push the cap onto the spool until it engages. REWINDING SPOOL FROM BULK LINE (USE ONLY 1.6MM DIAMETER LINE) Bulk line for your trimmer/edger is available at extra cost from your local dealer. To install bulk line, follow these steps: • Turn off the trimmer and remove the battery. • Press the release tabs on the line spool cover as shown in Fig. 11 and remove the cover by pulling it straight off. Remove the spool from the tool and remove and discard all line on the spool. • Insert one end of the bulk line into the hole in the spool. • Hold the line in the hole and pull the rest of the line through the slot in the spool. • Snugly and evenly wind the bulk line onto the spool in the direction of the arrow until it is nearly full. • Insert the line end through the eyelet in the spool hub. Pull the line through the hole to maintain tension while placing the spool down into the hub with the notched side exposed. INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Press the spool down GENTLY and rotate it until you feel it drop into place. (When in place, the spool

Protecting your machine Maintenance Regular maintenance of your Webb machine is essential to ensure it operates, safely, effi ciently and therefore reducing the environmental impact. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that their Webb machine is maintained at specifi c intervals. Any approved Webb service dealer can undertake a service, which are specialised in our products and will be aware of your particular machine and any technical updates which will save valuable time & money. If you are using your machine in dry, dusty or high temperatures, you will need to service the machine more regularly. Fuel (if applicable) Due to ongoing eff orts by fuel companies to reduce emissions, unleaded petrol will oxidize & deteriorate in storage overtime, leaving residue from detergent components. Fuel deterioration problems may occur when petrol is stored for over 30 days. If you are planning to store fuel for over 30 days, we recommend you add Handy Parts Sure-Start fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel after purchasing. Sure- Start cannot reconstitute stale fuel. Storage When storing your machine for an extended period, we do recommend that you follow the instructions of engine instruction manual. Always store the fuel in a clean, approved and sealed container. If the container is steel, ensure it is not corroded. If the container is not fi lled to its recommended capacity, air can accelerate fuel deterioration. Always store fuel away from direct sunlight, in a dark, cool environment. INSTRUCTION MANUAL
