Extending the string length during operation
The string on the device wears during mowing and be-
comes shorter due to fraying and being torn off. A string
that is too short will result in unsatisfactory mowing re-
sults.
Note
The string length can be extended during operation.
1. With the appliance switched on, briefly tap the cut-
ting head on the ground.
The string extends automatically and is automatical-
ly trimmed to the correct length by the cutting blade.
Note
You must replace the string reel or cutting string if the
string no longer extends automatically (see Chapter
Replacing the cutting tool).

During longer work breaks, remove the battery pack
from the device and secure it against unauthorised use.

tion of the battery pack.
