ASSEMBLING THE GRASS TRIMMER
▶ Slot the top handlebar, middle handlebar and bottom
handlebar together in the direction of the arrow. Se-
cure the handlebar parts with the screw.
▶ Plug the guard hood with screw onto the motor head
and turn it counterclockwise as far as it will go.
▶ Fasten the guard hood with the screw.

OPERATION

The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line extension sys-
tem. Each time you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion system, the line is automatically extended to ensure
that you can cut your lawn with the perfect cutting width
at all times. Please note that the more often you activate
the semi-automatic line extension system, the more the
line will wear.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the fi rst time, the surplus end of it
will be cut by the blade on the guard hood.
If the line is too short when you start the machine for the
fi rst time, press the knob on the line spool and pull the
line hard. When you start the equipment again the line
will be cut to the perfect length automatically.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you observe
the following instructions:
▶ Never use the grass trimmer without its safety devic-
es.
▶ Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results are
had on dry grass.
▶ Connect the power cable to the extension cable and
fasten this to the strain-relief clamp.
▶ To switch on your grass trimmer, press the ON/OFF
switch.
▶ To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the On/Off
switch.
▶ Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass un-
til the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the trimmer is
running.
▶ For the correct cutting action, swing the grass trim-
mer to the side as you walk forward, holding it at an
angle of approx. 30° as you do so.
▶ Make several passes to cut long grass shorter step by
step from the top.

▶ Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary wear on

der to avoid unnecessary line wear.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any

CLEANING
▶ Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor hous-
ing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
▶ We recommend that you clean the device immediately
each time you have finished using it.
▶ Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or sol-
vents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.

laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
