8. Working instructions

m WARNING!
The grass trimmer must not be used or switched
on until it has been fully assembled.
For your own safety, please thoroughly read this
manual and the general safety instructions be-
fore turning the device on. If you give the device
to third parties, always include these instruc-
tions.
• Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular
intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating.
Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped
under the safety shield and prevent the shaft tube
from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the
remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like.
• Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide which cutting
height you require. Guide and hold the line spool at
the required height to obtain an even cut.
