9. Working instructions
Extending the cutting line
Caution!
Do not use any kind of metal wire or metal
wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This may cause
serious injuries to the user. To extend the cutting line,
run the engine at full speed and tap the line spool on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line. Fig. 41
The blade on the safety shield will cut the line to the
appropriate length. Fig. 16
m
Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants at
regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating.
Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped under
the safety shield and prevent the shaft tube from recei-
ving adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants careful-
ly using a screwdriver or the like. Fig. 42
Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut
weeds and long grass in places which are diffi cult to
access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations and
also around trees. It can also be used for „mowing“ down
vegetation so that a garden can be better prepared or a
certain area cleared down to the soil. Fig. 43
m
Attention: Even if it is used carefully, cutting around
foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will result in the
line suff ering more than normal wear.
Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything motion.
Always keep the line spool parallel to the ground. Check
the site and decide which cutting height you require.
Guide and hold the line spool at the required height to
obtain an even cut. Fig. 43
Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so
that the underside of the line spool is above the ground
and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away
from yourself. Never draw the trimmer towards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations
Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone
walls and foundations slowly so that you can cut close
to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If,
for example, the line strikes stones, stone walls or
foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire
fencing, it will break.
Trimming around trees
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so
that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around the
tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds
with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool forwards
slightly.
Warning! Take extreme care during mowing work. When
doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters between
yourself and other people or animals.
Mowing
When mowing, you want to cut all the vegetation down
to the ground. To do this, set the line spool at an angle
of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required
position. Remember the increased risk of injury to the
user, watchers and animals, and the danger of damaging
property due to objects (for example stones) being
thrown.
Warning! Do not use the equipment to remove objects
from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a powerful tool and
can throw small stones and other objects a distance of
15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage to cars,
houses and windows.
Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to
cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the engine
immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the
equipment before you restart it. Fig. 42
Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if
it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, branches, tree
stumps, stones or the like. This will throw the equipment
backwards in the direction opposite to the rotation of the
tool. This can cause you to lose control of the equipment.
Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary
stones or foundations.
10. Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work,
always turn off the engine and pull out the spark boot
plug
.
1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the
engine.
2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.

Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 35 - 39
1. Dismantle the line spool (1) as described in section
8.4 Assembly. Press the spool together and remove
one half of the housing. Fig. 35
2. Take the spool plate out of the line spool housing.
Fig. 36
3. Remove any remaining cutting line.
4. Place the new cutting line in the center and hang the
