For optimum performance from your grass trimmer,
please follow the following instructions:
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results
are had on dry grass.
Connect the power cable to an extension cable
and hook the extension cable on the handle
(Figure 13).
To switch on the grass trimmer, slide the safety
lock-off forward and press one of the two
ON/OFF switches at the same time (Fig. 1/Item
1+2). Then release the safety lock-off.
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 3).
Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the
trimmer is running.
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, holding
it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so (see
Figure 14+15).
Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 16).
Make full use of the edge guide and the guide
hood in order to avoid unnecessary line wear .
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects
in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
9. Using the grass trimmer as an edge
trimmer
For trimming the edges of lawns and beddings the
function of the grass trimmer can be adjusted as
follows:
Switch off the electrical power supply to the
grass trimmer.
Press the selector button (Fig. 19).
Hold the selector button pressed and turn the
upper handle through 180° (Fig. 20) until it locks.
This turns the grass trimmer into an edge
trimmer which can then be used for vertical
trimming of the grass (Fig. 21).
10. Replacing the line spool
Caution! It is imperative that you pull the mains
plug before you ever attempt to replace the line
spool!
Press the marked areas at the side of the spool
cover and remove (Fig. 22+23).

Feed the ends of the line on the new line spool

The cutting line will be automatically cut to the
right length when you start up again for the first
time.
Caution! Risk of injury from ejected parts of
the nylon thread!
Switch off and unplug the grass trimmer before
putting it away or cleaning it.
Remove deposits from the guard hood with a
brush.
Clean the plastic body and plastic parts with a
mild household detergent and a damp cloth.
Never use aggressive agents or solvents for
cleaning purposes!
Never spray down the grass trimmer with water.
Prevent water getting into the trimmer at all cost.
The machine will not work: Check that the power
cable is connected properly and check the mains
fuses.
If the machine will not work despite the voltage
supply being OK, send it to the specified after-
sales service address.
