Adjusting the spacing bow
(flower protection):
The spacing bow keeps plants and stalks
that are not to be cut away from the cut-
ting lines. If you do not need the spacer
bow, you can place it behind the castor
roll (parking position).
Tip the spacer bow (16) forward into
its working position.
Lengthening the cutting lines
A short or worn string will make
bad cuts. If you notice reduced
cutting performance, you should
therefore check if there is still
enough string on the spool. Pull
the power plug first! Spool replace-
ment is detailed in section „Replac-
ing the Trimming Assembly".
Fully automatic dual line system
The equipment features a fully automatic
dual line system.
The lines will automatically elongate every
time you turn on the appliance. To support
proper line elongation, ensure that the coil
has stopped moving completely before
turning on the appliance again.
If the lines should be longer that defined
by the cutting circle then they will be au-
tomatically cut to the correct length by the
line cutter
Regularly check the nylon lines for
damage and whether the lines still
have the correct length defined by
the line cutter
When no line ends are visible:
•
Renew the line spool (see Cleaning
and maintenance"„Replacing the trim-
ming assembly").
Adjusting the line length manually:
•
Disconnect the plug from the mains
socket!
Press and hold the stop button
(
20) at the cutter head (13) and
pull both threads outwards.
Working Instructions
WARNING. Danger of injury!
• Do not cut moist or wet grass.
• Before starting the trimmer
check that the cutting head
will not come into contact with
stones, rubble or other foreign
bodies.
• Switch on the trimmer before
you approach the grass that is to
be cut.
• Always trail the extension cable
behind you. Do not pass the op-
erating trimmer over the exten-
sion cable as the cable could be
damaged.
• Do not overload the trimmer dur-
ing operation.
• Avoid contacting solid obstacles
(stones, walls, fences, etc.) since
this would make the string wear
out too quickly. Use the edge of
the protective cover to keep the
appliance away from such obsta-
cles.
Cutting grass
