SPOOL REPLACEMENT (FIG. D)
WARNING! Only use original spare parts for
replacement.
Before proceeding, please observe the compo-
nents and fig. D.
If you are not familiar with handling and assem-
bly of mechanical components, we recommend
that you contact an authorized service center.
Wear gloves to protect hands.
1) Remove the plug from the machine.
2) Turn the machine with cap facing upwards.
3) Replace the cutting unit as follows:
- With one hand, keep the spool housing locked
and with the other hand completely unscrew
the knob by turning it clockwise (fig. Da).
- Pull the knob (fig. Db) and remove the empty
spool (fig. Dc).
- Carefully clean the inside of the spool housing
and of the spool cover keeping the spring in
its position.
- Prepare the new spool blocking the wires in their
seats (fig. Dd) and insert it into the spool housing
tucking the wire ends into the holes (fig. De).
- Assemble the remaining components and
reset the length of the cutting wire (fig. Df).
WARNING! Do not use makeshift trimming
systems by re-using worn originals. Use only
approved replacements. The use of line with
different characteristics to those of the original
can permanently damage the machine as well
as annulling the terms of the guarantee.

WARNING! It is prohibited to install steel
discs, blade discs and saw blades (Fig. H).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before checking or carrying out
maintenance on the machine, disconnect it
from the power supply.
WARNING! The wire cutter (where fitted) may
cause deep cuts.
- Clean and maintain your machine regularly, to
ensure that it remains perfectly efficient and
has a long working life.
- After every cutting process, clean the cutting
device and protection so that they are free from
grass and earth. If you are using a professional
manual spool, unscrew the knob completely
and remove the spool to access the area to
be cleaned.
- During use, keep motor ventilation grids clean
and free from grass.
- Clean the machine with a soft brush or cloth.
- Do not wet or spray water over the tool.
- Do not use any detergents or solvents as
these may damage the machine beyond re-
pair. Chemical agents can easily damage the
plastic parts.
- If the wire cutter breaks, contact an authorised
service centre.
Every 10 hours of operation, lubricate the
gears of the cutting head through the point
of lubrication in the cutting head (fig.G, 1);
lubricate with grease for mechanical gears
up to fill the room.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the machine vibrates:
- disconnect the machine from the power supply
- disassemble the spool (if replaceable)
- carefully clean the spool housing removing any
possible residual of grass or other residue. If
after reassembling everything the vibration
persists, replace the spool with a new one.
If the machine fails to start:
- check the electrical connections
- check the extension cable or change the power
supply socket
- check the mains switch in your home
If the cut is unsatisfactory or the machine
performances decrease:
- adjust the length of the cutting element.
WARNING! If the machine still fails to function
correctly after you have carried out the above
operations, or in the event of anomalies other
than those described above, take the machine
to an authorised service centre. Provide the
machine model and serial number shown
on the technical data label and the enclosed
sheet.
STORAGE
- After use, clean the entire machine and its
accessories carefully (see maintenance
paragraph), thus preventing any mould from
forming.
- Keep the machine out of reach of children, in a
stable safe position, in a dry place not subject
to extreme temperatures and free from dust.
- Protect the machine from direct sunlight,
