tube (6) to the required length and
retighten the screw sleeve.
Adjusting the spacing bow
(plant protection bracket):
The spacing bow keeps plants and stalks
that are not to be cut away from the cutting
lines. The spacing bow can be positioned
behind the spacing roll (parking position)
when it is no longer required.
If the spacing bow (10) is no longer
required, it can be pushed away back
-
wards (park position).
Lengthening the cutting lines
Fully automatic dual line system
The equipment features a fully automatic
dual line system.
The lines will automatically elongate every
time you turn on the appliance. To support
proper line elongation, ensure that the coil
has stopped moving completely before
turning on the appliance again.
If the lines should be longer that defined by
the cutting circle then they will be automati-
cally cut to the correct length by the line
cutter (
14).
Regularly check the nylon lines for
damage and whether the lines still
have the correct length defined by
the line cutter.
When no line ends are visible:
• Renew the line spool
(
13) (see
“Cleaning and maintenance”).
Adjusting the line length manually:
• Disconnect the plug from the mains
socket!
Press the retaining head (
16), re-
lease it again and pull the ends of the
cord out a little. Repeat this process until
the ends of the cord project a little be-
yond the cord cutter (
14).
Cutting grass
WARNING. Danger of in-
jury!
• Do not cut moist or wet grass.
• Before starting the trimmer check
that the cutting head will not come
into contact with stones, rubble or
other foreign bodies.
• Switch on the trimmer before you
approach the grass that is to be
cut.
• Always trail the extension cable
behind you. Do not pass the op-
erating trimmer over the extension
cable as the cable could be dam-
aged.
• Do not overload the trimmer dur
-
ing operation.
• Avoid contact with obstacles
(stones, walls, fences, etc.) as this
will rapidly wear out the lines.
•
Do not deposit the cutting head
(
9) on the ground during op-
eration.
• Ensure
that the cutting head
(
9) has stopped before you
deposit the equipment on the
ground.
Cut the grass by
swaying the trimmer
sideways to the right
and left. Cut slowly,
keeping the appli-
ance inclined for-
ward slightly when
cutting.
Cut tall grass by a series of levels from top
to bottom.
