Working instructions

Before commencing work, ensure the
following:
You may not start to operate the machine until you have
read these operating instructions, observed all the
instructions given and installed the machine as described!
Make sure to have a safe and tidied up work area. Remove
from the working area objects which might be thrown off.
Before starting your work make sure that:
− no other persons or animals stay within the working
area,
− you can always step back without any barriers,
− you have always a secure standing position.
Only trim the lawn when it is dry, then you will obtain the
best results.
If persons who have blood circulation problems are too
often exposed to vibrations damages to the nervous system or
to blood vessels may occur.
You can reduce vibrations
-
by thick and warm working gloves,
- shorter working time (have longer breaks).
See a doctor if your fingers swell, you don't feel well or your
fingers become numb.

Working with the lawn trimmer
Trimming
While trimming keep the lawn trimmer away from your body at a
sufficient distance. Tilt the product slightly forward and move it
from left to right.
It is recommended to cut higher grass above 15 cm in several
passes.
Trimming around shrubs and trees
For better control, grasp the lawn trimmer also at the guide
handle (5). Guide the product around trees and shrubs so that
the plants are not damaged.
Caution! Damaged plants may die off.
Do not guide the cutting thread directly at walls and paving
stones. Otherwise it will prematurely wear off.
Thread follow-up
During trimming, the cutting thread wears (becomes shorter) or
it may tear off so that it can no longer cut grass.
Shortly press the running lawn trimmer against firm ground.
This will extend the cutting thread (by approx. 4 cm). If the
cutting thread exceeds the maximum cutting diameter it will be
shortened by the integrated knife within the protective hood.

Maintenance and cleaning

For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.
Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected
damages and injuries.
Maintenance and repair work beyond this is only allowed to be
carried out by the manufacturer or authorized service staff.

Always keep your hands and feet at a safe distance to

Always keep the ventilation apertures free.
The cutting thread is after-running once the lawn trimmer
has been powered off. Therefore wait until the thread is
stationary before you restart the product.
Ensure that you always comply with the safety
instructions given on p. 14 ff.
