Cleaning

Do not spray the appliance
with water and do not im-
merse it in water. Electric
shock hazard!
• Keep clean the ventilation slots, motor
housing and handles of the appliance.
Use a damp cloth or a brush. Do not
use cleaning agents or solvents. You
may otherwise irreparably damage the
appliance.
• After every trimming session, remove
grass and soil from the protective cover
and the trimming assembly.
• Be careful with the line cutter. It can
cause serious lacerations.

Winding up the spool

As an alternative to a new spool, you can
purchase a 2.4 mm-thick, 5 m-long nylon
thread in specialist shops and wind this
yourself onto the spool.
1. Pull the new line through both line out-
let loops (32) of the spool cap (15).
2. Make a longitudinal adjustment with
both ends of the line so that the spool
cap (15) is positioned at about the cen-

3. Turn the rotary knob (15a) in the direc-

line onto the spool (33).

• Carry the device with one hand on the

transport protection.
• Maintain a safe distance from other
