25cc Petrol Grass Trimmer – GLPT 2538 Use
Extending the cutting line
CAUTION!
Do not use of metal wire or metal wire encased in plastic in
the line spool. This may cause serious injuries to the user.
As a result of this friction, the starter line will become frayed
and will wear away faster. Always hold the starter cable when
the starter line retracts.
To extend the cutting line (13), run the engine at full speed and tap the line spool on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line. The blade on the guard hood will cut the
line to the permissible length (Fig. 9b).

Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in places
which are difficult to access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations and also around
trees. It can also be used for 'mowing' down vegetation so that a garden can be better
prepared or a certain area cleared down to the soil.
Even if it is used carefully, cutting around foundations, stone
or concrete walls, etc. will result in the line suffering more
than the normal level of wear.
Trimming/mowing
Swing the equipment from side to side in a scything motion. Always keep the cutting
tool parallel to the ground.
Check the site and decide which cutting height you require. Guide and hold the
cutting tool at the required height to ensure that you cut evenly (Fig. 9d).
Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so that the underside of the
line spool is above the ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut
away from yourself. Never draw the equipment towards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations (with line spool)
Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly
so that you can cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for
example, the line strikes stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line
strikes wire fencing, it will break.
Trimming around trees (with line spool)
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line does not strike
the bark. Walk around the tree and take care not to damage the tree. Approach grass or
weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool forwards slightly.
Take extreme care during mowing work. When doing such work keep a distance
of 30 meters between yourself and other people or animals.
