5. Let the lawn trimmer run at idling speed for a
few moments. This causes the cutting line to
be cut off to the correct length.
6. The appliance switches off when the switch is
released.
After the appliance has been switched
off, the spool head continues to rotate for
a few seconds.

OPERATION

Switch on the appliance before approaching
the grass to be cut.
Angle the appliance forwards slightly, and
walk forwards slowly (9).
Sweep the appliance to the right and left in
order to cut the grass (9).
Long grass must be cut in several passes. Always
proceed from top (10-1, 10-2) to bottom.
Tap the spool head on the ground from
time to time when working. The automa-
tic tip function always keeps the line at
optimum length.
Use the plant protection car in order to hold
the appliance at the correct distance from
obstacles (11-1).
Do not overload the appliance during work.
Make sure the motor is stopped before you
remove any cuttings.
CAUTION!
The vibration value during use of the
electrical implement may differ from the
indicated value, depending on what the
appliance is used for.
If the battery lawn trimmer is overloaded in
very long grass, the line will be blocked. Im-
mediately remove the appliance from the long
grass and reduce the load. Otherwise, the
motor could be permanently damaged.
After use, remove the battery and check the app-
liance for damage.
