area cleared down to the soil.
Please note: 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. 28).
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 founda
-
tions, 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. Ap
-
proach 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 me
-
ters between yourself and other people or ani -
mals.
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, watch
-
ers and animals, and the danger of damaging property due
to objects (for example stones) being thrown up (Fig. 29).
Warning! Do not use the equipment to remove ob -
jects from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a pow -
erful 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.
Sawing
The equipment is not suitable for sawing.
Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut
vegetation that is too dense, switch off the engine imme
-
diately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment
before you restart it.
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. For cutting dense stalks, position
the blade as shown in Fig. 30 to prevent recoil.
9. MAINTENANCE
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the spark
boot plug before carrying out any maintenance work.
9.1 Replacing the line spool/cutting line
▶ Dismantle the line spool (13) as described in section
5.1.6. Press the spool together (Fig.12a) and remove
one half of the housing (Fig. 12b).
▶ Take the line spool out of the line spool housing (Fig.
12c).
▶ Remove any remaining cutting line.
▶ Place the new cutting line in the center and attach
the resulting loop to the recess in the spool splitter
(Fig. 12d).
▶ Wind the line on to the spool counter-clockwise with
tension. The spool splitter will separate the two
halves of the nylon line (Fig. 12e).
▶ Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line to the
line holders opposite the line spool (Fig. 12f).
▶ Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eye -
lets in the line spool housing (Fig. 12b).
▶ Press the line spool into the line spool housing (Fig
12a).
▶ Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This
