OPERATION & USE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING THE GRASS
TRIMMER (Fig.8.)

Move the grass trimmer evenly from one side to
another.

If possible, trim by using the left half of the grass
trimmer. The cut parts of plants and debris will be
thrown forward and away from the operator.

You will attain the best result if you hold the
machine inclined forward at an angle of
approximately 20°- 30°.

Avoid contact between the nylon spool and
obstacles such as fences, walls, stones, etc. This
leads to excessive wear and tear.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE LENGTH
AND ANGLE OF THE CUTTING HEAD
(Fig.9, 10 and 11.)

To make the work position comfortable, the grass
trimmer is provided with the possibility of
changing the length of the metal tube.

Press the push-button

✕✌

(Fig.9.) and shift the

handle into the required position.

There are 3 different length settings available.
Make sure that the push-button clicks in again to
lock.

For cutting edges, the handle of the grass trimmer
can be rotated by 90° (Fig.10).

Press the push-button

✕✌

(Fig.9.) and rotate the

handle by 90°. Make sure that the push-button
clicks in again.

It is further possible to position the cutting head 3
different angles so that, for example, you could
work under bushes.

Press the push-button 

✗✌

(Fig.11). The cutting

head can be positioned at 3 different angles of
inclination.

The upper handle can also be adjusted according

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Clean your battery-operated grass trimmer
thoroughly each time after you use it. Remove the
grass and dirt. Clean the ventilation openings. It is
best to clean the plastic parts with a damp cloth
and a soft detergent. Never use aggressive
detergents or solvents. Do not pour water into the
machine and do not sprinkle it with water. Store
the grass trimmer in a dry place, never expose it
to frost and keep it out of children’s reach. For
more extensive maintenance or repairs, give the
grass trimmer to the service centre.
