6. Operation

The electric grass trimmer is designed only to cut
grass.
The electric grass trimmer has a fully automatic
line extension system. If the line of the electric
grass trimmer is reduced through operation, it is
automatically extended to the maximum cutting
width. This ensures that you can cut your lawn
with the perfect cutting width at all times.
Caution! 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.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you ob-
serve the following instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
•
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best re-
sults are had on dry grass.
•
Connect the power cable to the extension
cable and fasten this to the strain-relief clamp
(Figure 6/Item 13).
•
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6/Item 3).
•
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 6 / Item 3).
•
Do not move the grass trimmer against the
grass until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until
the trimmer is running.
•
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, hol-
ding it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so
(see Figure 7 and Figure 8).
•
Make several passes to cut long grass shor-
ter step by step from the top (see Figure 9).
•
Use the edge guide and the guard hood to
prevent unnecessary wear on the line.
•
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard ob-
jects in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
(Fig. 12/13)
To cut the edges of lawns and fl ower beds, the
grass trimmer can be converted as follows:
•
Switch off the power supply of the electric
grass trimmer.
•
Pull the sleeve (Fig. 12/Item 10) to the rear.
•
Hold the sleeve in the rear position and rotate
the top handle through 180° (Fig. 12) until it
latches in place.

•
Now you have converted the electric grass
trimmer to an edge trimmer for cutting the
lawn vertically (Fig. 13).

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 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 with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
8.2 Replacing the line spool (Fig. 14-16)
Important! Make sure that you pull out the
power plug before replacing the line spool!
•
Press the sides of the spool cover as shown
and remove the cover (Figure 14-15).
•
Remove the empty line spool.
•
Thread the ends of the line on the new line
spool through the eyelets in the spool recep-
tacle (Fig. 16).
•
Fit the spool cover back in the spool mount.
•
When you start the equipment again the line
will be cut to the perfect length automatically.
Caution! Bits of the nylon line could cause
injury when fl ung out!
