Adjusting Nylon Line; Waste Disposal And Environmental Protection; Troubleshooting - Ikra RT 21-2 CT Gebrauchsanweisung

• Wherever possible, cut with left-hand side so that cut-
tings, dust and stones are thrown forwards, away from
the user.
• Ideal working conditions are achieved if the trimmer is
tilted to the left at an angle approx. of 30°.

10. Adjusting nylon line

Check the nylon line regularly if it is damaged or if it still
has the correct length.
When cutting performance deteriorates: Hold the run-
ning trimmer above a patch of grass. Tap the cutting
head on the ground (fig. 4). Note the fresh line will be ad-
vanced only if lines are still at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) long.
If the lines are shorter: Switch off the trimmer, disconnect
plug from power supply. Press in the spool and pull end
of lines firmly outwards (fig. 5). If end of lines are not
visible - see point 11 (replacement of spool).
Your trimmer has a thread cutting blade that continuously
cuts the thread down to the appropriate length.
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade from grass
remainders in order to guarantee an unaffected cutting
performance.
Attention: Danger of injury through the cutting blade !
11. Replacement of spool
First, switch off and unplug the device. Wait until the ny-
lon thread has come to a halt. T hen push the two locking
devices 1 at the sides of the cutting head, and remove
the cutting head cover 2. Remove the used thread coil
and put in the new coil 3 such, that one end of the thread
comes out of each outlet at the sides of the cutting head.
Please take care that the spring is properly seated under
the thread coil. Finally, close the cover by pushing it in its
seat. Both locks must properly engage.
12. Trouble shooting
• Trimmer does not work: Check power supply (e.g.
by testing on another socket or by means of a voltage
tester). Should it still not work, although the socket is
o.k., send it undismantled to an authorised service sta-
tion for repair.
• Cutting line disappears into spool: Remove spool
(acc. to point 11), pull end of line through the metal
outlet and reinsert spool. In case nylon line is used up
insert a new spool with line.
Do not make any other repairs on your own; have your
trimmer checked and repaired by an authorised dealer.
13. Storing
• Clean the unit thoroughly, especially the cooling air
slots on the motor housing.
• Do not use water to clean the device.
• Store trimmer indoors in a dry, high or locked place and
keep out of reach of children.
14. Repair service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried out
by a specialised electrician.
