GB | Operating Instructions

8. Switching on / off

To operate your grass trimmer:
• Make sure you have a secure footing.
• Hold the trimmer firmly (with both hands).
• Stand upright - hold trimmer in relaxed position.
• Do not rest the cutting head on the ground.
• Squeeze the switch 1.
• The trimmer is switched off when you release the
switch.

9. Trimming grass and weeds

• Sweep trimmer back and forth uniformly to cut small
patches of grass or weeds. The trimmer is not con-
structed and suitable for cutting large areas.
• Wherever possible, cut with left-hand side so that cut-
tings, dust and stones are thrown forwards, away from
the user.
• Ideal working conditions are achieved if the trimmer is
tilted to the left at an angle approx. of 30°.

10. Adjusting nylon line

Check the nylon line regularly if it is damaged or if it still
has the correct length.
When cutting performance deteriorates: Hold the run-
ning trimmer above a patch of grass. Tap the cutting
head on the ground (fig. 11). Note the fresh line will be
advanced only if lines are still at least 2.5 cm (1 inch)
long. If the lines are shorter: Switch off the trimmer, dis-
connect plug from power supply. Press in the spool and
pull end of lines firmly outwards (fig. 12). If end of lines
are not visible - see point 11 (replacement of spool).
Your trimmer has a thread cutting blade that continuously
cuts the thread down to the appropriate length (fig. 13).
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade from grass re-
mainders in order to guarantee an unaffected cutting
performance.
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. T hen push the two
locking devices 1 at the sides of the cutting head, and
remove the cutting head cover 2 (fig. 14). 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 (fig. 15). Please take care that the
spring 4 is properly seated under the thread coil. 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
GB-5
(fig. 5)
(fig. 10)
o.k., send it undismantled to an authorised service sta-
tion 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.

slots on the motor housing.
