Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance with instructions, certain residual
risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment's
construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask
is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is
used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if
the equipment is used over a prolonged period or
is not properly guided and maintained.

6. Before starting the equipment

6.1 Assembling the grass trimmer (Fig. 3a-5b)
Plug together the top handlebar (Fig. 3a/Item 5)
n
and the bottom handlebar (Fig. 3a/Item 6) in the
direction of the arrow. Secure the handlebar parts
with the screw (Fig. 3b/Item 10).
Push the additional handle (Fig. 4/Item 4) onto the
n
top handlebar (Fig. 4 / Item 5).
Plug the guard hood with screw (Fig. 5a/Item 7)
n
onto the motor head as far as the stop.
Secure the guard hood with the screw (Fig.
n
5b/Item 8).
7. Operation
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the semi-
automatic line extension system, the line is
automatically extended to ensure that you can cut
your lawn with the perfect cutting width at all times.
Please note that the more often you activate the semi-
automatic line extension system, the more the line will
wear.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the first time, the surplus end of it will
be cut by the blade on the guard 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 start the equipment again the
line will be cut to the perfect length automatically.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you
observe 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 the extension cable
n
and fasten this to the strain-relief clamp (Figure
6/Item A).
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
n
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3).
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 6 / 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 8 and Figure 9).
Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 10).
Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary wear
on the line.
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects
in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
