■ Put the plastic protective cover on the metal
protective cover as shown in Fig. 11 and fix it
using the 4 screws M5x10 included.
Dismounting the metal cutting disc (fig. 2, 4, 12)
■ Block the gear by inserting the Allen key laterally
into the opening in the disk holder. Make sure
that the opening in the disk holder is aligned with
the opening in the gear housing.
■ Unscrew nut C by turning it clockwise.
■ Remove disc B and the cutting disc. Put washer
B back on the holding device. The line cutting
head must not be mounted without this disc!
■ Screw the line cutting head on the threaded bold
by turning it anti-clockwise and fasten it hand-

Connection of the Tool (fig. 20)
Modifying the brushcutter for operation
with nylon line
Please firmly tighten the screw and
d o u b l e c h e c k t h i s t i m e l y d u r i n g
performance.
Never operate the tool with the gear still
blocked! Danger of injury! Make sure to
keep the nut used to mount the cutting
disc for any later modification.
■ To modify the brushcutter for operation with the
cutting disc block the gear as described above
and manually turn off the line cutting head anti-
clockwise. Then proceed as described in the
paragraph ‘Mounting the cutting disc’.
Adjusting nylon line (fig.13,14)
■ Check the nylon line regularly if it is damaged or
if it still has the correct length.
■ When cutting performance deteriorates: Hold
the running trimmer above a patch of grass. Tap
the cutting head on the ground (fig. 13). The
cord is automatically extended. The cutter at the
protection cover cuts the cord to the required
length (fig. 14).
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade from grass
remainders in order to guarantee an unaffected
cutting performance.
Attention: Danger of injury through the cutting
blade !
Replacement of spool (fig. 15)
■ First, switch off and unplug the device. Wait until
the nylon thread has come to a halt.
■ Remove the screw (1) by turning it clockwise.
■ Remove the used thread coil and put in the new
coil (2) such, that one end of the thread comes
out of each outlet at the sides of the cutting
head. Please take care that the spring (4) is
properly seated under the thread coil.
■ Using the provided Allen key, firstly loosen the
screw to open the cover, then loosen the screws
on blade adptor and remove them all. (Fig. 16)
■ Insert the balde from the front slot in the direction
as shown, align the little hole on blade with that
on the rod. (Fig. 17)
■ Mount all the 3 screws tightly in place, ensure
there is no movement between blade and its
holders. (Fig. 18)
■ Screw the cover tightly in place. (Fig. 19)
■ Loosen the knob on the shaft coupling, insert the
attachment shaft until the lock button bounced in
place. Rotate the knob to secure them together
without movement. (Fig. 7-9)
■ The machines can only be operated on single
phase alternating current. They are double-
insulated according to class II VDE 0700
and CEE 20. Before taking the machine into
operation please make sure that the line supply
is in compliance with the operating voltage
shown on the output plate.
■ The minimum cross-section of the extension
chord is 1.5 mm²
■ The extension chord should not exceed 40m. All
components should be designed according to
the local regulations, the IEC or EN regulations.
■ The tool is equipped with a cable strain relief
located at the rear of it. Connect the plug
connection of the electric lawn trimmer and the
extension chord. Make a loop with the extension
chord and place it above the hook of the strain
relief. Thus, the plug connection is effectively
protected against tensile load and can also not
be cut off unintentionally.
■ When the coil sits in its correct position in the
housing (3), push it firmly into the housing so
that the spring is tensioned. Firmly pull at both
ends of the cord so that the cord cannot be
pinched between the coil and housing.
■ Maintain the spring tension through continuous
pressure on the coil in the housing and fix the
screw by turning it anticlockwise. Fasten the
screw fingertight only.
