Extending the cutting lines
The equipment comes with a tap mecha-
nism, i.e. the thread extends if the cut-
ting head is tapped on the ground. If the
thread is initially longer than the cutting
radius allows, it will be automatically
shortened to the correct length by the
thread cutter.
Caution:
Regularly remove grass rem-
nants from the thread cutter so the cutting
effect is not impaired.
Regularly check the nylon lines for
damage and whether the lines still
have the correct length defined by
the line cutter.
In Case of Deteriorating Cutting Perfor-
mance:
• Switch on the equipment and hold it
over a lawn area.
• Tap the cutting head (
9) on the
ground. The cutting head is adjusted if
the ends of the thread are at least 2.5
cm long.
If the Ends of the Thread are Shorter
than 2.5 cm:
• Switch off the equipment and discon
-
nect it from the mains.
• Press the reel insert until it stops and
give a strong pull on the thread end.
If No Thread Ends are Visible:
• Replace the thread reel (see chapter
on “Changing the Thread Reel”).
Cleaning and maintenance
Always disconnect the plug from
the mains socket before working
on the trimmer.
Any work that is not described
in these Instructions must be
carried out by a servicing agen-
cy authorized by us. Only use
original parts and be very care-
ful with the line cutter during in-
stallation work. Danger of injury!
Cleaning
Always keep the trimmer clean.
Do not jet water onto the trimmer
and do not clean it under flow
-
ing water. This would result in the
danger of an electric shock and the
trimmer could be damaged.
Do not use cleaning agents and
solvents.
• After the work has been completed
remove all grass and soil from the cut-
ting device and the protective cover).
• Ensure that the ventilation slots are
always clean and free of grass.
• Clean the trimmer with a soft brush or
a cloth.
Exchanging the line spool
Never manipulate the cutting device
by inserting worn out original
or alien parts. Only use original
spare parts. Never use metal lines.
The use of alien parts can result
in serious personal injury and
cause irreparable damage to the
trimmer and the guarantee will
become instantly null and void.
1. Disconnect from the mains.
2. Press both locking mechanisms
on the reel cover (15) at the
same time and take off the cover.
3. Remove the thread reel (10)
from the cutting head (9).
