8. Starting up
The grass trimmer is designed only to cut grass.
A short or worn down nylon line leads to poor cutting
quality.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that you unplug the
rechargeable battery before adjusting the line
length (Fig. 15-16)!
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the semi-
automatic line extension system, the line will be
extended to ensure that you can cut your lawn with
the perfect cutting width at all times.
Please note that the wear on the line will be
increased if you activate the semi-automatic line
extension system frequently.
Note
If the line is too long when you use the machine
for the first time, the surplus end of it will be cut
by the blade on the safety hood.
If the line is too short when you start the machine
for the first time, press the knob on the line spool
and pull the line hard. When you then start the
machine for the first time the line will be cut to
the perfect length automatically.
Remove the knife guard. Caution: Risk of injury!
Now insert the rechargeable battery (Fig. 16). The
line will be cut to the correct length when the cutting
head starts up again. A short or worn nylon line
produces poor cutting results.

observe the following instructions:
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.

are had on dry grass.
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the safety
