WARNING!
Risk of injury due to de-
taching appliance parts
Appliance parts detaching
during operation can lead
to serious injury.
■
Attach the cutting tools
so that they cannot
come loose during oper-
ation.
Removing the blade
1. Insert the retaining pin supplied (09/1) into
the hole (09/2) of the drive pulley (09/3) and
hold.
2. Loosely turn the locknut (10/1) anti-clockwise
with the socket wrench (10/2). Brace with the
retaining pin (09/1).
3. Remove the locknut (10/1) and washer
(09/5).
4. Remove the retaining pin (09/1).

5 OPERATION

5.1

Switching the appliance on and off

See "Multitool MT 40 – basic appliance" operat-
ing instructions.
5.2 Prolonging the cutting line during
operation (11)
The cutting line shortens during operation and
frays out.
1. Tap (11/a) the spool head (11/1) on the
ground from time to time. This unwinds a
piece of new cutting line from the spool and
cuts off the used line end of the line cutter
(11/2).

6 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (12 – 14)
■
Slightly tip the appliance forwards (approx.
30°) to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly (12/a).
■
When mowing, swivel the appliance evenly to
the right and left (12/b).
■
Long grass must be mown in several passes.
Always proceed from top to bottom (13).
■
The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore, do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.
■
If the appliance is overloaded in long grass,
the line will be blocked. Immediately lift the
appliance so it releases. Otherwise, the mo-
tor could be permanently damaged.
■
Do not move the appliance directly against
hard obstacles (e.g. walls), but mow side-
ways. This protects the cutting line (14).
■
Keep the appliance away from sensitive
plants. Fold the protective bracket into the
horizontal position.
Procedure if the blade jams
Thick vegetation, young trees or growth can
block the blade and bring it to a stop.
■
Avoid blocking by observing the direction in
which the growth inclines and cut from the
opposite side.
■
If the blade becomes entangled when cutting:
■
Immediately stop the motor.
■
Hold the appliance at a height so the
blade does not jump or break.
