Working behaviour and working technique (08 – 09)
1. Tap (07/a) spool head (07/1) on the lawn
from time to time at high speed. This unwinds
a piece of new cutting line from the spool and
cuts off the used end of cutting line (07/2).
Risk of injury! Do not touch the sharpening
line cutter!
8 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (08 – 09)
■
Tilt the appliance slightly forwards (approx.
30°) to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly.
■
When mowing, swivel the appliance evenly to
the right and left.
■
Long grass must be mown in several passes.
Always work from top to bottom (08).
■
The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.
■
If the appliance is overloaded in long grass,
the cutting line will block. Lift the appliance
immediately to relieve the load. Irreparable
damage can otherwise be caused to the mo-
tor.
■
Do not work with the appliance directly
against hard obstacles (e.g. Walls) and mow
from the side. This protects the cutting line
(09).
■
Keep the appliance away from delicate
plants. Fold the protection bar into the hori-
zontal position.
Measures if the blade jams
Thick vegetation, young trees or growth can
block the blade and bring it to a stop.
■
Avoid blockages by observing the direction in
which the growth inclines and cut from the
opposite side.
■
If the blade jams while cutting:
■
switch off the motor immediately.
■
Lift the appliance so that the blade does
not jump or break.
9 MAINTENANCE AND CARE
WARNING! Danger of lacerations. Danger
of cutting injuries when reaching into sharp-
edged, moving appliance parts and into cutting
tools.
■
Before maintenance, care and cleaning work,
always switch off the appliance. Remove the
rechargeable battery.
■
Always wear protective gloves during mainte-
nance, care and cleaning work.
■
Do not get the appliance wet or expose it to
moisture.
■
Clean plastic parts with a cloth and do not
use any cleaning agents or solvents.
■
Check the electrical contacts for corrosion,
clean with a fine wire brush if necessary and
then spray with a contact spray.
