To obtain maximum performance from your string
trimmer, please follow these instructions:
•
Never use the string trimmer without the
safety guard.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved on dry grass.
•
To switch on your string trimmer, press the
safety lock-off (Fig. 9 / Item 1) and the On/Off
switch (Fig. 9 / Item 2).
•
To switch off your string trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Fig. 9 / Item 2) again.
•
Do not allow the string trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the string
trimmer is in operation.
•
To cut properly, swing the string trimmer
sideways while moving forwards. Keep the
string trimmer inclined at an angle of approx.
30° while you do so (see Figs. 10 and 11).
•
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut
shorter in stages, starting from the tip (see
Fig. 12).
•
Use the edge guide and the safety guard to
prevent unnecessary wear on the line.
•
To avoid unnecessary wear on the line, keep
the string trimmer away from hard objects.
•
To use the edge guide along walls or objects,
pull the edge guide forward (see section 5.5).
Push it into the string guard when not in use
(see section 5.5).
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
(Fig. 16)
To cut the edges of lawns alongside e.g. fl ower
beds (vertical cutting), the string trimmer can be
converted into a lawn edge trimmer.
Push the guide wheels (Fig. 13 / Item 14) from
above onto the mount (Fig. 7 + 13 / pos.. 15) until
you hear the wheels latch in place (Fig. 14). To
remove the guide wheels, pull the guide wheels
release (Fig. 15 / Item 16) while simultaneously
pulling the guide wheels up and off .
The lock (Fig. 14 / Item 7) latches in the angle
adjuster (Fig. 14 / Item 17). While holding the
angle adjuster in place, pull the long handle up
and out of the lock and turn it clockwise through
90° until it latches home. Tilt the long handle as
required (see section 5.4).
Return the motor head in reverse order to its
original position in order to use it as a string
trimmer.

7. Cleaning and maintenance
HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
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 cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive 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 power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
7.2 Replacing the line spool (Fig. 17 – 19)
Danger! Remove the battery!
1. Press the line spool housing together at the
opposite-lying ribbed push cover points (Item
18) and remove the spool cover (Item 19).
2. Remove the empty line spool.
3. Thread the end of the line from the new line
spool (Item 20) through the eyelet (Item 21) of
the spool cover and allow approx. 4" of line to
project.
4. Press the spool cover back into the line spool
housing.
7.3 Maintenance
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
