adjust shaft to the most convenient position (3 locking
positions). Push button 2 and adjust the front handle to
its optimum position.

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 running
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, disconnect plug
from power supply. Press in the spool and pull end of
lines firmly outwards (fig. 12). If end of lines are not vis-
ible - 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 !

nylon thread has come to a halt. T hen push the two
locking devices 1 at the sides of the cutting head, and

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
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.
