Height adjustment
By simultaneously pressing down the lower and pulling the upper height adjuster.
Adjusting the Auxiliary Handle
Put the lawn trimmer on the ground. Loosen the screw (6) and adjust the auxiliary handle
to its optimal position. The handle is set by tightening the screw.
Trimmer Head Angle
The trimmer head angle can be adjusted into three positions.
First push down on the angle adjustment lock (11) with your foot. Now you can adjust
the arbor to the desired angle of inclination (Fig. 5). Release the angle adjustment lock
and lock the arbor into place in order to set the angle of inclination.
Electrical Cord Hanger
In order to better secure the power plug on the electrical cord, make a loop with the
electrical cord (extension cord) and hang this on the electrical cord hanger. After making
this safeguard, connect the electrical cord with the power plug (Fig. 6).
Lawn Trimmer as Edging Shears
In order to cut the edges of lawns and beds, the lawn trimmer can be converted in the
following manner:
• Pull the power plug out of the electrical outlet.
• Turn the handle counterclockwise 180° until it stops.
• You now have the option of using the lawn trimmer as edging shears.
Maintenance and Care
The lawn trimmer is largely maintenance-free. However, we recommend regular
inspections and care in order to ensure a long service life.
Please note! Before performing any maintenance the lawn trimmer should be
disconnected from the electrical power supply. For this purpose, pull the power
plug out of the electrical outlet.
• Dirt should be removed regularly from the protective cover. Cleaning is best performed
with a fine brush or cloth.
• Do not use any corrosive agents for cleaning plastics.
• Never spray off the lawn trimmer with water. Always prevent water from getting into
the machine.
