Replacing the Line Spool
Maintenance
•
Disconnect the plug from the mains socket.
•
Turn over the trimmer so that the cutting head (11) is facing upwards.
•
Simultaneously press the two retaining tabs on either side of the cover (11) and remove the cover
(17).
•
Remove the line spool (18) from the cutting head (11).
•
Insert the new spool with the smooth side facing upwards in the cutting head and thread the two
lines through the line eyelets (16). Ensure that the line ends do not slip out of the spool slots.
•
Replace the cover.(17) Ensure that the retaining tabs on the cover (17) are accurately inserted in
the corresponding recesses of the cutting head. They lock in audibly.
•
Press the retaining head (see 15), release it again and pull the ends of the cord out a little. Repeat
this process until the ends of the cord project a little beyond the cord cutter (12).
Check the line cutter. Never operate the trimmer without the line cutter or if the line cutter is
defective. A defective line cutter must only be repaired by an authorised servicing agency.

Storage
•
Carefully clean the trimmer and its accessories after each use (see chapter on cleaning and
maintenance), thereby avoiding mould formation.
•
Store the trimmer in a dry place well out of reach of children.
•
Do not expose the trimmer for extended periods to direct sunlight.
•
Do not wrap plastic sacks around the trimmer as this could result in the formation of moisture and
mould.
•
Do not stand the trimmer on its protective cover. Suspend it by its upper handle in such a
manner that the protective cover does not come into contact with other objects. This is because
the protective cover could become deformed, thereby changing its dimensions and its safety
properties.
