Trimming Edges
(Model ART 23 GFSV/ART 25 GSAV/ART 25 ER
GOPOWER)
Run the trimmer along the edge of the lawn. Do not
allow the cutting line to contact paved surfaces or
garden walls, since this will wear the line rapidly.

Trimming Edges (see figure
(ART 23 GFS/ART 25 GSA)
Use handle position IV for edging.
Cutting Around Trees and Bushes
Carefully cut around trees and bushes so that they
do not come into contact with the cutting line.
Plants can die if you damage the bark.
For better control use guide handle 4 or adjustable
handle 3.
The rotating line can wear or break. You will notice
when the motor runs without load and no grass is
cut.
Model (see figure
The line must be fed manually:
Hold the spool plate 14 in position, lift the line up and
pull it out approx. 9 cm counter-clockwise. Clasp the
line between the studs of the spool plate. The
spool 16 does not need to be removed.
If the line is exceeding the maximum cutting circle it
will be cut by the blade 15 integrated in the cutting
guard 8.
Model (see figure
While operating the trimmer press and release the
trimmer firmly against a solid base such as a pave-
ment surface (necessary pressure approx. 3 kg).
The spool will release approx. 4 cm of line per ac-
tion.
) When the line breaks off completely feed twice to re-
gain the full cutting circle.
If the line is exceeding the maximum cutting circle it
will be cut by the blade 15 integrated in the cutting
guard 8.
Model ART 25 GSA/GSAV/ERGOPOWER
While operating the trimmer the line will be fed auto-
matically when it breaks.
