The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack
fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the
point of sale at which the equipment was
purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6.2 Practical tips
Practice all the work steps with the motor swit-

before you start to use the equipment. Only ever
cut grass that is dry. If the grass is long, the grass
must be cut shorter in stages (Fig. 14).
Extending the cutting line (Fig. 15)
Danger! Do not use any kind of metal wire or me-
tal wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This
may cause serious injuries to the user.
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system (automatic jog line feed). Each
time you activate the semi-automatic line exten-

ensure that you can cut your lawn with the perfect
cutting width at all times. To extend the cutting
line, run the motor and tap the line spool on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line.
The blade on the guard hood will cut the line to
the permissible length. Please note that the more
often you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion 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
