Maintenance instructions
For a long service life, to prevent damage and to ensure the proper functioning of the safety features of your trimmer, perform the
maintenance work described below on a regular basis. Failure to perform this maintenance regularly and properly will void the
warranty, and will also cause risk of injury!
Do not do any maintenance work not described here. Any maintenance or repair work beyond what is described here must be done
only by a DOLMAR service centre.
Caution: never clean the motor housing by spraying it with water. Use a damp cloth to clean the trimmer. Do not use strong
cleaning agents that may damage the plastic of the housing. Let the trimmer dry thoroughly after cleaning!

Extending the trimmer line
- When trimming performance starts to slack off, the line
needs to be lengthened. You can do this during operation at
any time simply by tapping the trimmer head on the ground
(arrow). This will only work when there are still at least 3 cm
of line extending beyond the trimmer head.
- The line trimmer (see page 20, D/8) will automatically trim
any excess line.
- If the line ends are shorter than 3 cm, it will be necessary
to extend the line manually.
- To do so, press the button and pull the lines out vigorous-
ly.
CAUTIOn: Before cleaning the trimmer head, replacing the
trimmer line, or extending the line manually, always switch
off the motor and disconnect the power cable!
