• Work considerately and endanger no-
body when cutting. Work quietly and
carefully.
• Work only in adequate visibility and
lighting conditions.
• Keep an eye on the cutting head.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Never replace the plastic cord with a
steel wire – risk of injury and damage.
• Do not work on a ladder.
• Work only on firm and stable bases.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture.
Ensure that your footing is secure and
keep your balance at all times.
• Change your working position at regu-
lar intervals in order to prevent becom-
ing tired on one side of your body.
• If the spool become jammed, turn the
device off immediately, remove the
spark plug connector and then remove
the cause of the blockage.
Cutting grass
• On small grass areas, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of approx. 30° and
turn evenly to the right and left with a
semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with
maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the
grass is longer, mowing several times
is recommended.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, go slowly around the
obstacle with the equipment and cut
with the thread tips.
• Avoid contact with solid obstacles
(stones, walls, board fences etc) other
-
wise the thread will quickly wear out.
Use the edge of the protective cover to
keep the equipment at the correct dis-
tance
Caution! Do not place the cut-
ting head on the ground dur-
ing operation!
Extending the cutting thread
The equipment comes with a double-thread
tap mechanism, i.e. both threads extend if
the cutting head is tapped on the ground.
1. Hold the equipment in operation over
a grassy area and lightly tap the cut-
ting head a few times on the ground.
This extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter included in the pro
-
tective cover (15) cuts the thread to the
desired length.
If the thread ends no longer
extend:
• Switch off the equipment.
• Press the reel insert until it stops and
give a strong pull on the thread end.
If no thread ends are visible:
• Replace the thread reel (see chapter on
“Changing the Reel”).
Caution! Thread remnants
may be thrown out and
cause injuries.
If the Equipment Vibrates
Clean the equipment, remove any grass
remnants present on the cutting head and
in the protective cover.
Care and Maintenance
The maintenance and cleaning
work must always be carried
out with the engine switched
off and the spark plug con-
nector removed (
