• Do not work on a ladder.
• Work only on firm and stable bases.
• Always carry the equipment suspended by the shoulder strap or on the tube.
Working with the mowing head
• On small grass areas, hold the equipment at an angle of approx. 30° and turn evenly to the right
and left with a semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is longer, mowing
several times is recommended.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, go slowly around the obstacle with the
equipment and cut with the tips of the cutting line.
• Avoid contact with solid obstacles (stones, walls, board fences etc) otherwise the line will quickly
wear out. Use the edge of the mowing guard to keep the equipment at the correct distance.
Extending the cutting line
The equipment comes with a double line tap feed mechanism, i.e. both lines extend if the mowing
head is tapped on the ground.
1. Hold the equipment in operation over a grassy area and lightly tap the mowing head a few times
on the ground. This extends the line.
2. The line cutter included in the mowing guard cuts the line to the desired length.
If the line ends no longer extend:
• Switch off the equipment.
• Press the reel insert until it stops and give a strong pull on the thread end.If no thread ends
are visible:
If no thread ends are visible:
• Inspect and if necessary replace the line or cutting line spool (17) (see chapter on Changing
the spool).
Working with the Metal Cutting Blade
Caution! Do not place the cutting head on the ground during operation!
Caution! Line remnants may be thrown out and cause injuries.
When working, always wear the shoulder strap and appropriate protective
clothing. Wear eye, ear and head protection. Ensure that the cutting blade
is installed properly. Replace damaged or blunt tools. Risk of injury.
