Mounting and Operation

 Do not disassemble guard and metal tube once con-
nected.
 Do not connect the machine to the mains socket before
it is completely assembled.
 The cutting line continues to rotate for a few seconds
after the trimmer is switched off. Allow the motor/cut-
ting line to stop rotating before switching "on" again.
 Do not rapidly switch off and on.
 Remove any grass from spool cover when changing line
or spool.
 Only use Bosch approved cutting elements. Cutting
performance will vary with different cutting elements.
Check the guard screw is fixed tightly before using.
Check the tube joint is on correct position before using.
The machine will automatically feed and cut the line when the
tool starts and stops.
