2. Fold the spacer (16) up (resting position)
when it is not needed.
Extending the cutting line
The tool is equipped with a fully automatic
line tracker. The line extends automatically
every time the tool is switched on. For prop-
er functioning of the automatic line exten-
sion mechanism, the spool (15) must have
stopped completely before you restart the
tool. If the lines are initially longer than the
cutting circle, the line cutter (35) will auto-
matically shorten it to the correct length.
Procedure (Fig. G)
1. Check the nylon lines regularly for dam-
age and make sure the cutting line still
has the length specified by the line cutter.
2. If no line ends are visible:
Replace the spool (see Maintenance,
p. 35).
3. Adjust the line length manually:
Remove the battery (20) from the tool.
Lightly pull on the line end and press the
locking button (34) repeatedly if neces-
sary until the line end protrudes beyond
the line cutter (35).
