or edge cutting. Release button (5) so that the turning mech-
anism engages.
Lawn trimming
Move the trimmer left and right, keeping it well away from
the body. Cut higher grass in steps.
Edge cutting
Guide the trimmer along the edge of the lawn. Avoid contact
with solid surfaces or walls to prevent rapid wear of the cut-
ting line.
Cutting around trees and bushes
Carefully cut around trees and bushes so that they do not
come into contact with the cutting line. Plants can die if you
damage the bark.

line and mounting the spool (see figures H to J)
Remove the mains plug before replacing the spool.
u
Press both latches of the spool cover together and remove
the spool cover (11). Afterwards, remove the empty spool
(12).
Cut off approx. 6.0 m line from the refill roll. Fold the line in
half, so that it has a length of 2 x 3 m. Attach the line centre
to the nose on the spool (13) and wind up the line - one end
in each spool compartment - uniformly distributed and taut.
Slide both ends of the cutting line through the holes for line
guiding (14) in the trimmer head and mount the spool back
into the trimmer head. Affix the spool by mounting the spool
cover (11).
Line Feeding (see figure K)
Semi-automatic Line Feeding
The trimmer is equipped with a semi-automatic feeding sys-
tem. The spool feeds line each time the machine comes to a
stop (On/Off switch is released); too long line is cut off when
the machine is started again.

Press the line-feed button (15), and pull the cutting line out
to the desired length.
