the site and decide which cutting height you require. 
Guide and hold the line spool at the required height to 
obtain an even cut. Fig. 43

Low trimming

Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so 
that the underside of the line spool is above the ground 
and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away 
from yourself. Never draw the trimmer towards yourself. 

Cutting along fences/foundations

Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone 
walls and foundations slowly so that you can cut close 
to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, 
for example, the line strikes stones, stone walls or 
foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire 
fencing, it will break.

Trimming around trees

When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so 
that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around the 
tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds 
with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool forwards 
slightly.
Warning! Take extreme care during mowing work. When 
doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters between 
yourself and other people or animals.

Mowing

When mowing, you want to cut all the vegetation down 
to the ground. To do this, set the line spool at an angle 
of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required 
position. Remember the increased risk of injury to the 
user, watchers and animals, and the danger of damaging 
property due to objects (for example stones) being 
thrown.

Warning! 

Do not use the equipment to remove objects 

from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a powerful tool and 
can throw small stones and other objects a distance of 
15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage to cars, 
houses and windows.

Jamming

If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to 
cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the engine 
immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the 
equipment before you restart it. Fig. 42

Preventing recoil

When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if 
it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, branches, tree 
stumps, stones or the like. This will throw the equipment 
backwards in the direction opposite to the rotation of the 
tool. This can cause you to lose control of the equipment. 
Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary 
stones or foundations. 

10. Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, 
always turn off the engine and pull out the spark boot 
plug

.

1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the 

engine.

2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.

Expert inspection is required:

•  If the brush cutter strikes an object.
•  If the motor stops suddenly
•  If the blade is bent (do not align!)
•  If the gears are damaged.

Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 35 - 39

1.  Dismantle the line spool (1) as described in section 

8.4 Assembly. Press the spool together and remove 
one half of the housing. Fig. 35

2.  Take the spool plate out of the line spool housing. 

Fig. 36

3.  Remove any remaining cutting line.
4.  Place the new cutting line in the center and hang the 

loop which has formed into the recess in the spool 
splitter. Fig. 37

5.  Wind the line onto the spool counter-clockwise and 

under tension. The spool splitter will separate the two 
halves of the line. Fig. 38

6.  Hook the last 15cm of the two ends of the line onto 

the opposite lying line holders of the spool plate. Fig. 
39

7.  Thread the two ends of the line through the metal 

eyelets in the line spool housing .

8.  Press the spool plate into the line spool housing.   

Fig. 36

9.  Pull the two line ends sharply to release them from 

the line holders.

10. Join the housing parts together again. Fig. 35
11. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13cm. This 

will reduce the load on the engine when starting and 
warming up.

12. Remount the line spool (see section 8.4). If you are 

replacing the complete line spool, skip points 3-6.

Grinding the safety hood blade

The safety hood blade can become blunt over time.
•  When you notice this, undo the screw holding the 

safety hood blade on the safety hood.

•  Clamp the blade in a vise.
• 

Sharpen  the  blade  with  a  fl  at  fi  le  and  make  sure 

that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the 
process. File in one direction only.
