Adjusting the carrying
harness eyelet/balanc-
ing out the device
Select the correct position for the carrying
harness eyelet according to whether you
are using a spool or blade. The thread
spool or blade (depending on which is se-
lected) should be situated as follows with-
out needing them to be touched by hand:
The thread spool should lie gently
on the ground.
The blade should be balanced
around 20 cm above the ground.
1. Loosen the screw (58) on the carrying
harness eyelet (9). For this, use the 4 mm
Allen key (24), the smaller of the two.
Slightly tighten the screw (58) again.
2. Balance the strimmer according to the
above criteria (depending on the cut-
ting unit chosen) by sliding the eyelet
(9) on the upper shaft tube (8).
3. Tighten the screw (58) once the strim-
mer is in the desired position.
Working using the
thread spool
• On small grass areas, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of approx. 30° and
turn evenly to the right and left with a
semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with maximum
grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is longer,
mowing several times is recommended.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or other ob-
stacles, go slowly around the obstacle with
the equipment and cut with the thread tips.
• Avoid contact with solid obstacles (stones,
walls, board fences etc) otherwise the
thread will quickly wear out. Use the
edge of the protective cover to keep the
equipment at the correct distance
Caution! Do not place the cut-
ting head on the ground dur-
ing operation!
Extending the cutting thread
The equipment comes with a double-thread
tap mechanism, i.e. both threads extend if
the cutting head is tapped on the ground.
1. Hold the equipment in operation over
a grassy area and lightly tap the cut-
ting head a few times on the ground.
This extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter (
protective cover (
to the desired length.
If the thread ends no longer extend:

Switch off the equipment.
