Tips for optimum trimming results when work-
ing with the line head
Î
Hold the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
Î
Only cut with the tip of the line, especially along
walls. Cutting with more than the tip reduces the
cutting ability and can overload the motor.
Î
Where grass is longer than 20 cm, cut from the
top to the bottom in small steps to prevent prema-
ture wear of the line and overloading of the motor.
Î
If possible, cut from left to right. Cutting to the right
improves the cutting ability of the device. Grass
cuttings are then thrown away from the user.
Î
Move the device slowly at the desired height into
and out of the cutting area. Move either forwards
and backwards or from side to side. Cutting
smaller areas achieves better results.
Î
Only carry out cutting when grass and weeds are
dry.

Operation using the cutting blade
Before you use the device, hold it in the operating
position. See “Holding the device”.
Tips for operation using the cutting blade:
Î
Cut with an even cadence.
Î
Adopt a steady and comfortable posture on the
ground.
Î
Do not use eco mode. The blade then has max-
imum cutting force and does not jam so easily,
remain stuck, or cause impacts to the blade that
could result in serious injuries to the user or other
persons.
Î
Cut by turning the upper part of your body from
right to left.
Î
Turn the device in the same direction in which the
blade cuts. This helps cutting.
Î
Take one or two steps forward to the next area

Î
Follow the guidelines below to reduce the possi-
bility that plants will wind around the blade.
- Do not cut in eco mode.
- Swing from right to left into the plants to be cut.
- Avoid plants that have just been cut,
while they are swinging back.
