Operation

Operating times
Please check noise abatement regulations prevailing in your
country.
Settings
The lawn trimmer is equipped with a four-position adjustable
working angle. This enables you to easily trim hard-to-reach
areas in your garden.
To set the ideal working position, please follow the instructions
below.
Important! The cutting head should be inclined slightly for-
ward while trimming.
Working angle and wheels
• Free trimming
Working angle 1 (Fig. a)
Free trimming is especially suitable for trimming large areas with
high weeds or grass. During free trimming, you should swing the
trimmer in a semi-circular motion in front of your body.
1. Set working angle (Fig. B1).
2. Remove wheels (Fig. B3, 1)
• Even trimming
Working angle 2 (Fig. b)
In order to achieve an even and clean cut, you should use
the wheels.
1. Set working angle (Fig. B1)
2. Position wheels (Fig. B3, 2)
• Trimming under bushes / on slopes
Working angle 3 (Fig. c)
1. Set working angle (Fig. B1)
2. Remove wheels (Fig. B3, 1)
• Edge function (horizontal cut)
Working angle 4 (Fig. d)
The edge function enables precise and convenient trimming
along the edge of the lawn.

Faults and how to remedy

Problem
Automatic line feed
mechanism is not
working.
When in doubt, always consult a WOLF service workshop.
Important: Switch off the trimmer and disconnect the mains plug before inspecting, cleaning or working on the thread.
Possible cause
Spool is empty.
Dirt and debris in spool drive mechanism.
Line is torn and stuck inside spool.
Line is „welded" to itself or to spool through heat
build-up.
1. Turn cutting head 90° (Fig. B2)
2. Set handle angle (Fig. B1)
3. Position wheels (Fig. B3, 2)
Telescoping handle and grip
The trimmer is adjusted to your body height by means of the
telescoping handle and the middle grip (Fig. B5 / B6).
Plant hoop guard
The plant hoop guard protects bushes, trees and plants (Fig.
B7, 1).
When edging, the plant hoop guard must remain in the posi-
tion illustrated in (Fig. B7, 2).
Insert power cable into cable holder
The power cable holder in the guide grip prevents accidental
disconnection of the extension cable (Fig. B8, 1).
On / off switch (Fig. B8, 2)
Tips on trimming
• Cut high grass slowly, step by step.
• If the cutting cord becomes too short due to normal wear,
simply switch off the trimmer. The cord will then automati-
cally adjust to the correct length.
• Whenever the trimmer is switched off and then on again, the
cord automatically lengthens 6-8 mm. If the trimmer is fre-
quently switched on and off for no reason, this will increase
wear of the cord.
• You can prolong the life of your trimmer by removing grass
from the ventilation slots and the bottom of the trimmer be-
fore or after each use.
Important! Always disconnect from the power supply before
performing any work on the trimmer!
4. In order to prevent accidental unwinding, do not remove the
cord ends of the new cord spool from the slits before insert-
ing the spool (Fig. W2)
5. Insert cord spool into housing (Fig. W3)
Important! The bumps on the cord spool must face the
cover!
6. Place the spool cover on the cord spool holder so that the
two locking tabs lock into place.
Before switching on: Hold trimmer parallel to the ground; oth-
erwise, there is danger of injury.
Remedy
Fit new spool.
Clean parts with a brush.
Remove spool, check tightness of winding and
replace spool in the usual way.
Remove welded line section, check tightness of
winding and replace spool in the usual way.
