After the trimmer has been
switched off the cutting head will
continue to rotate for a few sec-
onds. Keep hands and feet well
away. There is the danger of cut-
ting damage.
The ON / OFF switch must not
be locked in place. The trimmer
must not be used if the switch is
damaged. There is the immediate
danger of injury if the motor does
not switch off after the ON / OFF
switch has been released.
Information About Cutting
A short or worn thread will cut badly.
In case of deteriorating cutting
performance, it should therefore be
checked whether the thread reel is
still presenting enough thread. For
this, read the chapter on “Extending
the Cutting Thread”.
• 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.
• Do not cut moist or wet grass.
• Do not overload the trimmer dur-
ing operation.
• Avoid contact with solid obstacles
(stones, walls, board fences etc)
otherwise the thread will quickly
wear out. Use the edge of the pro-
tective cover to keep the equip-
ment at the correct distance.
• Always trail the extension cable
behind you. Do not pass the oper-
ating trimmer over the extension
cable as the cable could be dam-
aged.
Cut the grass by swaying the trimmer side-
ways to the right and left. Cut slowly, keep-
ing the appliance inclined forward slightly
when cutting. Cut tall grass by a series of
levels from top to bottom.
Extending the Cutting Thread
The equipment comes with a tap mecha-
nism, i.e. the thread extends if the cutting
head is tapped on the ground. If the thread
is initially longer than the cutting radius al-
lows, it will be automatically shortened to
the correct length by the thread cutter.
Caution: Regularly remove grass rem-
nants from the thread cutter so the cutting
effect is not impaired.
Regularly check the nylon lines for
damage and whether the lines still
have the correct length defined by
the line cutter.
In case of deteriorating cutting perfor-
mance:
• Switch on the equipment and hold it
over a lawn area.
• Tap the cutting head (see picture
no. 10) on the ground. The cut-
ting head is adjusted if the end of the
thread is at least 2.3 cm long.
If the end of the thread is shorter than
2.3 cm:
• Switch off the equipment and discon-
nect it from the mains.
• 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 Thread Reel”).
