Adjusting the carrying harness
eyelet/balancing out the device
Select the correct position for the carrying
harness eyelet according to whether you are
using a spool or blade.
Requirements (Fig. K)
The scythe attached to the harness should
be used without touching it with your hand,
➊ The spool should rest lightly on the
ground.
➋ The blade should be balanced around 20
cm above the ground.
Procedure (Fig. K)
1. Loosen the wing screw (59) on the eye-
let (12) for the double shoulder strap.
Slightly tighten the wing screw again.
2. Depending on the cutting tool, balance
the scythe according to the above criter-
ia by moving the eyelet (12) on the upper
shaft tube (20).
3. Tighten the wing screw (59) when the
scythe is in the desired position.

Working with the spool

• In small grass areas hold the device at
an angle of about 30° and swing the cut-
ting head evenly to the right and left with
a semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with a max-
imum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass
is taller, it is recommended to mow sever-
al 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 fences, etc.). The
line would wear out quickly. Use the edge
of the protective cover to keep the device
at the correct distance.
