With the locking mechanism (6) pressed down, the
handlebar angle can be adjusted in 3 positions. Set the
most comfortable angle for your work. Ensure that the
bar engages securely.
Adjusting for edge trimming (Fig. 8 + 9)
Pull
the
locking
mechanism
release - Hold the sleeve in the rear position and
turn the upper handle 180° until it engages (Fig. 8).
Using the plant protection bar (7) as a support, you can
cut edges cleanly with this setting (Fig. 9).
7. Connecting the trimmer
The machine can only be used on single-phase AC
current. It is double-insulated in accordance with Class
II VDE 0700 and EEC 20. Before using the trimmer, en-
sure that the mains voltage is the same as the operating
voltage shown on the rating plate.
Wires of extension cord must have the following mini-
mum cross sectional area: 1,5 mm
•
Connect trimmer's plug to extension cord coupling.
•
Make a loop in the extension cord, push it through
the opening in the handle and hook over the lug
(strain relief).
•
After finishing work, unhook loop from lug and pull it
out of the handle.
8. Switching on / off
To operate your grass trimmer:
•
Make sure you have a secure footing.
•
Hold the trimmer firmly (with both hands).
•
Stand upright - hold trimmer in relaxed position.
•
Do not rest the cutting head on the ground.
•
Squeeze the switch (1).
•
The trimmer is switched off when you release the
switch (1).
9. Trimming grass and weeds
•
Sweep trimmer back and forth uniformly to cut small
patches of grass or weeds. The trimmer is not con-
structed and suitable for cutting large areas.
•
Wherever possible, cut with left-hand side so that
cut-tings, dust and stones are thrown forwards, away
from the user.
•
Ideal working conditions are achieved if the trimmer
is tilted to the left at an angle approx. of 30°.
•
Use the edge roller and the plant protection bar to
avoid unnecessary string wear (Fig. 10 + 11).

10. Adjusting nylon line
Check the nylon line regularly if it is damaged or if it still
has the correct length.
When cutting performance deteriorates: Hold the run-
ning trimmer above a patch of grass. Tap the cutting
head on the ground. Note the fresh line will be advanced
only if lines are still at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) long. If the
lines are shorter: Switch off the trimmer, disconnect plug
from power supply. Press in the spool (15) and pull end
of lines (12) firmly outwards). If end of lines are not vis-
ible - see (replacement of spool).
Your trimmer has a thread cutting blade that continu-
ously cuts the thread down to the appropriate length.
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade from grass re-
mainders in order to guarantee an unaffected cutting
performance.
Attention: Danger of injury through the cutting blade!

11. Replacement of spool
WARNING! Before making this change, make
sure that line trimmer is switched OFF and un-
plugged.
First, switch off and unplug the device. Wait until the
nylon thread has come to a halt. T hen push the two
locking devices (14) at the sides of the cutting head, and
remove the cutting head cover (13) (fig. 14). Remove the
used thread coil and put in the new coil (15) such, that
one end of the thread comes out of each outlet (16) at
the sides of the cutting head (fig. 15). Please take care
that the spring (18) is properly seated under the thread
coil. Finally, close the cover by pushing it in its seat. Both
locks must properly engage.
12. Trouble shooting
• Trimmer does not work: Check power supply (e.g.
by testing on another socket or by means of a voltage
tester). Should it still not work, although the socket is
o.k., send it undismantled to an authorised service sta-
tion for repair.
• Cutting line disappears into spool: Remove spool,
pull end of line through the metal outlet and reinsert
spool. In case nylon line is used up insert a new spool
with line.
Do not make any other repairs on your own; have your
trimmer checked and repaired by an authorised dealer.
Note: The manufacturer will not be reponsible for any
damage or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an
unauthorised person or by mishanding of the tool.
13. Storing
• Clean the unit thoroughly, especially the cooling air
slots on the motor housing.
• Do not use water to clean the device.
• Store trimmer indoors in a dry, high or locked place
and keep out of reach of children.
