Maintenance; Storage; Disposal And Recycling - Scheppach RT450 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• The line trimmer may only be used for cutting grass
and weeds underneath bushes, on edges, corners
and slopes which cannot be reached by a lawn-
mower. Alternative use not specified in these in-
structions can damage the device or severely injure
the user. Therefore, it is explicitly excluded from the
list of possible applications.
Automatic thread feeding
The thread is automatically added during operation
by means of the centrifugal force. If a thread breaks
off, you can manually pull the thread out again.
Please disconnect the power plug from the mains
beforehand to avoid injuries.
Press the button (A / Fig.2) and pull on both ends
of the thread to achieve your desired thread length.
Should one of the thread ends be too long, the thread
is cut to the correct length by the integrated knife in
the plate.

fore any servicing and cleaning. Wait until it fully
