strap eyelet for the spool and blade.



ground.

The blade should be balanced
around 20 cm above the ground.
1. Loosen the screw on the shoulder strap
eyelet (12). Slightly tighten the screw
again.
2. Depending on the cutting tool, balance
the device according to the criteria
mentioned above by moving the eyelet
(12) along the upper shaft tube (3).
3. Tighten the screw when the device is in
the desired position.
Working using the thread
spool
• In small grass areas hold the device at
an angle of about 30° and swing the
cutting head evenly to the right and left
with a semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with a
maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the
grass is taller, it is recommended to
mow several times.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, slowly move the device
around the obstacle and cut with the
thread ends.
• Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles
(rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The
thread would wear out quickly. Use the
edge of the protective cover to keep the
device at the correct distance.
Attention! Do not lay the cut-
ting head on the ground dur-
ing operation!
