6. Operation

The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the
semi-automatic line extension system, the line
is automatically extended to ensure that you can
cut your lawn with the perfect cutting width at all
times. Please note that the more often you activa-
te the semi-automatic line extension system, the
more the line will wear.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the fi rst time, the surplus end of it
will be cut by the blade on the guard hood.
If the line is too short when you start the machi-
ne for the fi rst time, press the knob on the line
spool and pull the line hard. When you start the
equipment again the line will be cut to the perfect
length automatically.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you ob-
serve the following instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
•
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best re-
sults are had on dry grass.
•
Connect the power cable to the extension
cable and fasten this to the strain-relief clamp
(Fig. 6/Item A).
•
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3).
•
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 6/ Item 3).
•
Do not move the grass trimmer against the
grass until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until
the trimmer is running.
•
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, hol-
ding it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so
(see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
•
Make several passes to cut long grass shor-
ter step by step from the top (see Figure 10).
•
Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary
wear on the line.
•
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard ob-
jects in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
8.2 Replacing the line spool
Important! Make sure that you pull out the
power plug before replacing the line spool!
•
Turn the spool receptacle counter-clockwise
and remove it (Fig. 7a).
•
Remove the empty line spool.
•
Thread the end of the line from the new line
spool through the eyelet in the spool mount
(Fig. 7b) and allow approx. 10 cm of line to
project.
•
Fit the spool cover back in the spool mount.
To do so, turn the spool receptacle clockwise
until it snaps into place.
•
When you start the equipment again the line
will be cut to the perfect length automatically.
Important! Bits of the nylon line could cause
injury when fl ung out!
