• You can convert your lawn trimmer into an edge
trimmer this way and carry out vertical cutting of
the lawn.
• When edge trimming, use the device's two guide
wheels (Fig. 6/Pos. 6+10).
• To convert the equipment back to its original state,
proceed in reverse order.
Extending the cutting thread
Warning! Do not use metal wire or plastic-coated
metal wire of any kind in the spool. This can lead to
severe injuries to the user.
To extent the cutting thread, keep the device run-
ning and tap the spool on the ground. The thread will
be extended automatically. The blade on the safety
screen shortens the thread to the approved length.
Replacing the cutting thread (Fig. 7-9)
• Hold on to the casing (f) and, at the same time,
turn the lid (g) anti-clockwise and remove it.
• Remove the casing spool (h) and spring.
• Replace the thread (i), insert the spool (h) and
spring, and, at the same time, pull the thread
through the opening. Replace the lid (g) by turn-
ing it clockwise and holding on to the casing
Sharpening the cutting blade (Fig. 6)
• Loosen the cutting blade's (l) cross-head screws
(k) from the protective hood (7).
• Put the cutting blade (l) into a vice.
• Using a flat file, sharpen the edge of the cutting
blade (l)
• Make sure that the original cutting angle is main-
tained.
• Fix the cutting blade (l) back onto the protective
hood (7).
