4. In section „Charger indicator" you will fi nd a
table with an explanation of the LED indicator
on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack
fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the power of the cordless grass trim-
mer drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack.
This will cause it to develop a defect.

6.2 Practical tips

Practice all the work steps with the motor swit-
ched off and without the rechargeable battery
before you start to use the equipment. Only ever
cut grass that is dry. If the grass is long, the grass
must be cut shorter in stages (Fig. 14).
Extending the cutting line (Fig. 15)
Danger! Do not use any kind of metal wire or me-
tal wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This
may cause serious injuries to the user.
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system (automatic jog line feed). Each
time you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion system, the line is automatically extended to
ensure that you can cut your lawn with the perfect
cutting width at all times. To extend the cutting
line, run the motor and tap the line spool on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line.
The blade on the guard hood will cut the line to
the permissible length. Please note that the more
often you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion 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 equipment
for the fi rst time, press the knob on the line spool
and pull the line hard. When you then start the
machine for the fi rst time the line will be cut to the
perfect length automatically.
Using a brush or similar, carefully remove all resi-
dual grass from the underside of the guard hood
at regular intervals.
Diff erent cutting methods
Caution! To use the edge guide along walls or
objects, swing the edge guide forward to the front
(Fig. 4). Swing it up when not in use (Fig. 16).
