General maintenance

• Prior to every use, check the appliance
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts. Check that the
screws in the cutting disk are tight.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damages and correct installation. Re-
place as necessary.

Replacing the cutting insert

1. Slide the cutting insert (13) in-
ward and push it out of the pin
(23) on the cutting disk (12).
2. Place the new cutting insert (13)
on the pin (23) and pull out the
insert until it snaps in.

Storage

• Store the trimmer in a dry place well out
of reach of children.
• Do not stand the trimmer on its protec-
tive cover. Suspend it by its upper han-
dle in such a manner that the protective
cover does not come into contact with
other objects. This is because the pro-
tective cover could become deformed,
thereby changing its dimensions and its
safety properties.
• Remove the battery before storing the
unit for longer periods of time (e.g. hi-
bernation).
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer stor-
age period (two LED lights of the charge
status indicator light up).
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.

• In order to keep the battery well
charged, avoid exposing the appliance
to extreme heat or cold in storage.
• Store the equipment between 10° C
and 25° C. During storage, avoid ex-
treme cold or heat so the battery does
not lose power.
Disposal and protection
of the environment
Remove the battery from the device and take
the device, battery, accessories and packag-
ing for environmentally friendly recycling.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of batteries in house-
hold waste, fire (risk of explosion) or
water. Damaged batteries may dam-
age the environment and your health
if toxic fumes or liquids leak out.
• Return the unit to a recycling centre. The
plastics and metals in the unit can be
sorted and appropriately recycled. Ask
our Service Centre for details.
• Dispose of batteries in discharged condi-
tion. We recommend covering the pole
with adhesive tape to prevent a short
circuit. Do not open up the battery.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with
the local regulations. Take batteries to
an old battery collection point where
they will be recycled in an environmen-
tally friendly manner. For information
about this, ask your local waste man-
agement company or our service centre.
• Defective units returned to us will be dis-
posed of for free.
• Throw the cut grass on the compost. Do
not throw it in the normal household
waste.
