6. Operation
To obtain maximum performance from your grass
trimmer, please follow these instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without the
guard.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved with dry grass.
•
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
safety lock-off (Fig. 2 / Item 1) and the On/Off
switch (Fig. 2 / Item 2).
•
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch again (Fig. 2 / Item 2).
•
Do not allow the grass trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the grass trim-
mer is in operation.
•
To cut properly, swing the machine sideways
while moving forwards. Keep the grass trim-
mer inclined at an angle of approx. 30° while
you do so (see Figs. 17 and 18).
•
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut
shorter in stages, starting from the tip (see
Fig. 19).
•
Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary
wear.
•
To avoid unnecessary wear, keep the grass
trimmer away from hard objects.
•
To use the edge guide along walls or objects,
pull the edge guide (Fig. 23 / Item 6) forward
over the latching point. Push it into the guard
hood when not in use. Make sure that you
push it over the latching point when you do
so.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
To cut the edges of lawns and fl ower beds, the
grass trimmer can be converted as follows:
•
Remove the battery pack
•
Pull the lock for the rotatable motor head in
the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 20.
•
Turn the motor head through 90° in the requi-

red direction until it latches in place (Fig. 21).
•
Now you have converted the grass trimmer to
an edge trimmer for cutting the lawn vertically.
•
To convert the equipment back to its original
state, proceed in reverse order.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Before putting away or cleaning the grass trim-
mer, switch off and remove the battery pack.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be ag-
gressive to the plastic parts in the equipment.
Ensure that no water can get into the interior
of the equipment. The ingress of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.

7.2 Replacing the blade

IMPORTANT! Be sure to remove the battery
pack before replacing!
•
To remove the blade, push the blade inwards
and remove it through the larger opening as
shown in Fig. 22.
•
To fit the new blade, proceed in reverse order
(Fig. 7). Make sure that it clicks into place.
7.3 Maintenance
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
