6. Clean the cutting means regularly. Stop the engine,
switch the machine off and unplug the spark plug
connector before checking.
7. Trim in steps when the grass is very high. Do not cut
the total height at once.
8. Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before
placing it down.
9. The trimmer head is equipped with a bumper helping
to cut the trimmer line while operating. Tap the bumper
on a stable surface and the spool will release a fresh
trimmer line.
10. A knife which is integrated in the guard will cut the
line to the required length. Always remove the knife
protection before operation and refit afterwards.
TIPS
1. For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends
to stick to the cutting means and guard, prevents proper
discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip
and fall.
2. Pay special attention when performing the work close
to trees and bushes. The cutting means can damage
sensitive bark, and damage fence posts.
3. Regularly remove clippings and dirt around the
trimmer head with a switched off product.
4. After use, switch the machine off, unplug the spark
plug connector and let it cool down.
