Maintenance; Faults And How To Remedy - Wolf Garten RQ 745 Gebrauchsanweisung

Operation
Trimming with the ground roller (RQ 745)
Ideal for small areas, under bushes, trees and on slopes. Set shaft angle to medium or lowest
position.
Trimming hints
• Trim high grass in stages and move the trimmer slowly.
• Move trimming head only as close to tree trunks and bushes as necessary.
• Trimming too closely along walls or concrete slabs wears out line unnecessarily.
• If nylon line is worn simply switch off motor - more line will then extend from the spool
automatically when restarted.
• Each time the machine is switched on and off about 6 - 12 mm of line will be fed out from
the spool automatically. Avoid switching the unit off and on unnecessarily in order to prevent the
unnecessary wear of line.
• The life of your trimmer will be prolonged if you clean the ventilating slits before or after
each trimming session and remove any remaining grass from the bottom of the device.
• Compost the mowings well or use them to cover the ground underneath bushes.

Maintenance

Replacing thread cartridge
Attention! Cutting tool coasts to stop! Disconnect plug before any maintenance work on the tool!
1. Hold spool case, turn cover in „AUF" (open) direction of the arrow and remove it, remove
empty thread cartridge (fig. W1).
2. To prevent unintended unwinding do not remove the thread ends of the new thread cartridge
from the retaining slits before inserting the cartridge (fig. W2).
3. Push thread cartridge over red button (round cams must be directed towards the cover).
Place thread ends into thread guide, check for correct run of the threads from the thread
cartridge to the thread guide, replace cover, push it down and turn it in the „ZU" (close)
direction of the arrow until it clicks into position (fig. W3).
Attention! Check for correct position of the cover. When replacing the cover, the arrow
markings must be directed towards the thread guide. Before switching on: Hold lawn trimmer
parallel to the ground in order to prevent injury.
