Cleaning

Do not spray the appliance
with water and do not im-
merse it in water. Electric
shock hazard!
• Keep clean the ventilation slots, motor
housing and handles of the appliance.
Use a damp cloth or a brush. Do not
use cleaning agents or solvents. You
may otherwise irreparably damage the
appliance.
• After every trimming session, remove
grass and soil from the protective cover
and the trimming assembly.

General maintenance

• Prior to every use, check the appliance
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts. Check that the
screws in the cutting disk are tight.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damages and correct installation. Re-
place as necessary.

indicated in the spool cap (see de-
tailed illustration

) on the spool.
tion. Insert the two ends of the thread
through the adjacent line outlet loops
(22). Make sure that the line ends
do not slip out of the slots (23) of the
spool.
5. Put the back on the spool cap (10).
Make sure that the latches (19) on the
lid fit precisely into the recesses on the
spool cap (10). They will snap in notice-
ably.
6. Pull on the line ends and press the lock-
ing button (24) repeatedly until the line
ends protrude approx. 1 cm beyond
the line cutter (21).
Check the line cutter (21). Never
use the device without a string cut-
ter or defective string cutter. If the
line cutter is damaged, be sure to
contact one of our customer service
centres.

Storage

• Store the trimmer in a dry place well out
of reach of children.
• Do not stand the trimmer on its protec-
tive cover. Suspend it by its upper han-
dle in such a manner that the protective
cover does not come into contact with
other objects. This is because the pro-
tective cover could become deformed,
thereby changing its dimensions and its
safety properties.
Disposal and protection
of the environment
The appliance, accessories and packaging
should be properly recycled.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
