Operation
WARNING: Danger of injury!
Never use the trimmer without its
protective cover. Always check
the operability of the trimmer
before it is used. Check that the
mains voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating plate. Al-
ways wear goggles when work-
ing with the trimmer.
Please observe local regulations
concerning noise protection.
Switching ON and OFF
1. Form a loop in the end of the ex-
tension cable, conduct it through
the opening in the upper handle
(2) and hang it on to the strain
relief (3).
2. Connect the trimmer to the
mains socket.
3. Ensure a safe stance and hold
the equipment firmly with both
hands. Do not deposit the cutting
head on the ground.
4. To switch on depress the ON
/ OFF switch (1). Release the
switch to switch off.
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. Risk of injury from cuts.
The ON / OFF switch must not
be locked in place. The trimmer
must not be used if the switch is
damaged. There is the immedi-
ate 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 bad-
ly. 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 “Extend-
ing the cutting lines”.
• 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 obstacles
(stones, walls, fences, etc.) as
this will rapidly wear out the lines.
• Always trail the extension cable
behind you. Do not pass the
operating trimmer over the exten-
sion cable as the cable could be
damaged.
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.
