The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system (automatic jog line feed). Each
time you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion system, the line is automatically extended to
ensure that you can cut your lawn with the perfect
cutting width at all times. To extend the cutting
line, run the motor and tap the line spool on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line. The
blade on the guard hood will cut the line to the
permissible length. Please note that the more of-
ten you activate the semi-automatic line extension
system, the more the line will wear.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the fi rst time, the surplus end of it
will be cut by the blade on the guard hood. If the
line is too short when you start the equipment
for the fi rst time, press the knob on the line spool
and pull the line hard. When you then start the
machine for the fi rst time the line will be cut to the
perfect length automatically.
Using a brush or similar, carefully remove all resi-
dual grass from the underside of the guard hood
at regular intervals.
Diff erent cutting methods
Caution! To use the edge guide along walls or
objects, swing the edge guide forward to the front
(Fig. 4). Swing it up when not in use (Fig. 17).
Please note: Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc.
will result in the line suff ering above normal wear.
Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide what cutting
height you require. Guide and hold the line spool
at the required height to ensure that you cut even-
ly.
Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight
angle so that the underside of the line spool is
above the ground and the line strikes the correct
target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw
the trimmer towards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations
Edge guide recommended!
When cutting approach wire mesh fences, lath
fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly
so that you can cut close to them without striking

GB
the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line
strikes stones, stone walls or foundations, it will
wear or fray. If the line strikes wire fencing it will
break.
Trimming around trees
Edge guide recommended!
When trimming around tree trunks, approach
slowly so that the line does not strike the bark.
Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Ap-
proach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and
tilt the line spool forwards slightly. Warning: Take
extreme care during mowing work. When doing
such work keep a distance of 30 meters between
yourself and other people or animals.
Mowing
For mowing you want to cut all the vegetation
down to the ground. To do this, set the line spool
at an angle of 30° to the right. Place the handle in
the required position. Remember the increased
risk of injury to the user, watchers and animals
and the danger of damaging other items due to
objects (for example stones) being thrown out
(Fig. 18).
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Before putting away or cleaning the grass trimmer,
switch off and remove the battery pack.
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 that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it.
•
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 elec-
tric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the sa-
fety guard.
