(Item B) shows the charge status of the battery
using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:

1 LED fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the
battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem-
perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me-

place! To remove the battery, proceed in reverse
order!
Danger!
Start up the equipment only when it is fully as-
sembled.
6. Operation
The grass trimmer has an automatic line extensi-
on system. Each time the equipment is switched
on, the line will be automatically extended to
ensure that you always work with the perfect
cutting width. The blade on the guard hood will
cut the line to the permissible length. If necessary
you can extend the line manually by pressing the
release button (Fig. 8 / Item 7a) and pulling simul-
taneously on the line.
Note: Frequently switching the equipment on and
off will increase line wear.
Caution! Bits of the nylon line catapulted out
into the surroundings could cause injuries!

To obtain maximum performance from your grass
trimmer, please follow these instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without the
guard.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved on dry grass.
•
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
safety lock-off (Fig.13 / Item 1) and the On/Off
switch (Fig. 13 / Item 2).
•
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Fig. 13 / Item 2) again.
•
Do not allow the grass trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the grass trim-
mer is in operation.
•
To cut properly, swing the grass trimmer side-
ways while moving forwards. Keep the grass
trimmer inclined at an angle of approx. 30°
while you do so (see Figs. 14 and 15).
•
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut
shorter in stages, starting from the tip (see
Fig. 16).
•
Use the edge guide and the guard hood to
prevent unnecessary wear on the line.
•
To avoid unnecessary wear on the line, keep
the grass trimmer away from hard objects.
•
To use the edge guide along walls or objects,
pull the edge guide forward (see section 5.5).
Push it into the guard hood when not in use
(see section 5.5).
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
(Fig. 17-18)
To cut the edges of lawns alongside e.g. fl ower
beds (vertical cutting), the grass trimmer can be
converted into a lawn edge trimmer.
The lock (Item 12) latches in the angle of tilt ad-
justment (Item 12a). While holding the angle of
tilt adjustment (Item 12a) in place, pull the long
handle upwards out of the lock and turn it 180°
counter-clockwise until it latches home. Tilt the
long handle as required (see section 5.4). Use the
edge guide (see section 5.5).
Return the motor head in reverse order to its origi-
nal position in order to use it as a grass trimmer.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Before putting away or cleaning the grass trim-
mer, switch it off and remove the battery.
