erwise 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 cutting
head on the ground during op-
eration!
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 cutting
head a few times on the ground. This
extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter included in the protec-
tive cover 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.
Working with the Metal
Cutting Blade
When working, always wear the
carrying strap and appropriate
protective clothing. Wear eye, ear
and head protection. Ensure that
the cutting blade is installed prop-
erly. Replace damaged or blunt
tools. Risk of injury.
damage.
• When cutting in high bushes or hedg-
es, the working height should be at
least 15 cm. This prevents the risk to
animals, e.g. hedgehogs.
Work safely and considerately!
• Always hold the equipment firmly and
securely with both hands
(see picture 8).
• Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware
of roots or tree stumps – risk of trip-
ping.
• 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.
• Always carry the equipment suspend

ed by the shoulder strap or on the
tube
Working with the Thread Reel
• 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) oth
