10. Using the grass trimmer as an
edge cutter
The grass trimmer can be adapted in the following
way to cut the edges of lawns and flower beds:
Removing the rechargeable battery (Fig. 11+12)
Press the handle adjusting button (Fig. 1/Pos. 3)
While pressing the handle adjusting button, turn
the upper handle through 180° until it latches in
place.
The grass trimmer has now been converted into
an edge cutter suitable for vertical cutting (Figure
17).
11. Replacing the line spool
IMPORTANT! Make sure that you unplug the
rechargeable battery before replacing the line
spool (Fig. 11-12)!
Attach the knife guard (Fig 4/D).
Press the sides of the spool cover as shown and
remove it with the spool (Figure 6+7). Ensure
that you do not lose the spring.
Remove the empty line spool.
Thread the ends of the line on the new line spool
through the eyelets in the spool cover (fig. 8)
Fit the spool cover and spool back into the spool
mounting.
Remove the knife guard. Caution: Risk of
injury.
The line will be cut to the correct length when the
cutting head starts up again.
Caution! Catapulted pieces of nylon line may
cause injury!
12. Charging the rechargeable battery
To remove the rechargeable battery, press the
two locking clips (A) firmly and at the same pull
the battery backwards and out, as shown in Figs.
11 + 12.
Check that the mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Connect the power supply unit to the recharge-
able battery. Plug the power supply unit in the
plug socket. The green and the red LEDs on the
rechargeable battery will illuminate (Fig. 16). An
empty battery requires approx. 4 hours to re-
charge. The recharging time is correspondingly
shorter if the battery has any residual capacity.
The temperature of the battery may rise slightly
during the charging operation. This is normal.

To install the rechargeable battery, insert it in the
battery compartment on the trimmer as shown in
Fig. 11. Make sure that the battery interlocks with
the battery guide in the trimmer housing. Then
slide the battery into the battery compartment as
far as the stop. The two locking clips (Fig. 12/A)
will lock into the trimmer housing in the process.
As an alternative you can charge the
rechargeable battery directly on the device.
Never switch on the device during recharging.
If the battery pack fails to charge, please check
whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, we request that
you send
the battery charger with charging adapter
and the rechargeable battery pack
to our customer services department.
To ensure that the NC battery pack provides long
service, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you notice
that the power of the hammer screwdriver drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
13. Cleaning and maintenance
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.
