Plug connectors must be equipped with earthing
contacts and the coupling must be rain-water-
protected.
Keep cables and other objects out of the area
you want to cut.
If you have to lift the trimmer to move it, switch off
the motor and wait for the rotating tool to stop.
Before you leave the trimmer, switch off the
motor and pull out the power plug.
Before you connect the trimmer to the power
supply, make sure that none of its moving parts
are damaged and that the line reel is correctly
inserted and fastened.
Never cut against hard objects when using the
trimmer. This is imperative to avoid causing injury
to the user and damage to the trimmer.
Use only original replacement parts for repair and
maintenance purposes.
Have repairs carried out only by a qualified
electrician.

4. Replacing the nylon line reel
Caution! Be sure to unplug the grass trimmer
before you replace the nylon line reel!
Holding the reel holder (Figure D / 8) in the one
hand, use the other hand to depress the grooves on
the side of the reel cover (Figure D / 9) and unscrew
the reel cover as indicated by the arrow on the reel
cover itself. After you have taken off the reel cover,
remove the empty line reel, taking care not to lose
the setting button and the spring. Insert the button
and spring in the reel holder. Take the new line reel,
push the ends of the lines through the holes in the
reel cover, and refit the reel cover (Figure E).
Turn the reel cover clockwise until it latches home.
Now press the setting button and pull out the lines to
a length of approx. 15 cm (Figure F/G). The cutting
line will be shortened automatically to the correct
length the first time the trimmer is restarted.
Caution! Catapulted pieces of nylon line may cause
injury!

way in order to be able to use it to cut the edges of
lawns and flower beds:
Disconnect the grass trimmer from the power
supply!
Holding the upper handle with the one hand and
the bottom part (motor housing) with the other,
press both toward each other and turn the bottom
part 180° in clockwise direction as far as the stop
(Figure H).
Let go of the bottom part, pulling it outwards as
you do so (Figure I).
The grass trimmer has now been converted into
an edge cutter suitable for vertical cutting (Figure
