higher speed. In this case, you will have to proceed as
described under point 11 (Replacing the thread coil).
Your trimmer has a thread cutting blade that continuously
cuts the thread down to the appropriate length (fig. 9).
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade from grass remain-
ders in order to guarantee an unaffected cutting perform-
ance.
Attention: Danger of injury through the cutting blade !
11. Replacement of Spool
First, switch off and unplug the device. Wait until the
nylon thread has come to a halt. Then push the two
locking devices 1 at the sides of the cutting head, and
remove the cutting head cover 2. Remove the used
thread coil and put in the new coil 3 such, that one end of
the thread comes out of each outlet at the sides of the
cutting head. Finally, close the cover by pushing it in its
seat. Both locks must properly engage.
12. Trouble shooting
• Trimmer does not work: Check power supply (e.g. by
testing on another socket or by means of a voltage
tester). Should it still not work, although the socket is
o.k., send it undismantled to an authorised service
station for repair.
• Cutting line disappears into spool: Remove spool
(acc. to point 11), pull end of line through the metal outlet
and reinsert spool. In case nylon line is used up insert a
new spool with line.
Do not make any other repairs on your own; have your
trimmer checked and repaired by an authorised dealer.
13. Storing
• Clean the unit thoroughly, especially the cooling air
slots on the motor housing.
• Do not use water to clean the device.
• Store trimmer indoors in a dry, high or locked place
and keep out of reach of children.
14. Repair service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried
out by a specialised electrician.
15. Waste disposal and environmental pro-
tection
If your device should become useless somewhere in
the future or you do not need it any longer, do not
dispose of the device together with your domestic
refuse, but dispose of it in an environmentally friendly
manner.
Please dispose of the device itself at an according
collecting/recycling point. By doing so, plastic and
metal parts can be separated and recycled. Information
concerning the disposal of materials and devices are
available from your local administration.
