Working instructions

Work safely, giving due consideration
to the next steps!
• When strimming, pay attention to
country-specific regulations and/or
those of your local municipality.
• Do not do strimming work during
general rest periods.
• Solid items such as stones, met-
al parts and similar are to be re-
moved. These can be ejected and
lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
• When strimming high bushes or
hedges, the working height should
be at least 15 cm. This means that
animals like hedgehogs are not put
at risk.
• Always hold the device tightly and
securely with both hands!
• Only cut grass and weeds with the
spool and steel cutter! A clearing
blade can be used to cut thickets
and small logs up to 20 mm in dia-
meter. Watch out for roots or tree
stumps, there is a risk of tripping.
• Work carefully and do not en-
danger anyone while you are strim-
ming.
• You should only work in good light-
ing conditions with sufficient visib-
ility!
• Keep an eye on the cutting head!
• Never strim above shoulder height!
• Never replace the plastic cord with
a steel wire – risk of injury and
damage!
• Never work on a ladder!
• Only work on firm and stable sur-
faces!
• Avoid an abnormal body posture.
Ensure that your footing is secure
and keep your balance at all times.

• Change your working position at
regular intervals in order to prevent
becoming tired on one side of your
body.
• If the cutting head is blocked:
Switch off the device, wait until all
moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill and remove the bat-
teries..

Balancing the device

You will achieve better work results if
the device is balanced to match the
cutting unit.
Notes
When the device is attached to the
double shoulder strap, the device
should be balanced as follows:
• Spool cap: rests lightly on the
ground.
• Metal cutting tool: balanced
around 20 cm above the ground.
Procedure
1. Loosen the screw (20) with the hex
key (15).
2. Move the eyelet (19) on the upper
shaft tube (17) until the above pos-
ition is reached.
3. Tighten the screw (20).

Working with the 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-cir-
cular movement.
• The best results are obtained with
a maximum grass length of 15 cm.
If the grass is taller, it is recom-
mended to mow several times.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, slowly move the
device around the obstacle and cut
with the line ends.
• Avoid any contact with fixed
obstacles (e.g. rocks, walls, picket
