To obtain maximum performance from your grass
trimmer, please follow these instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without the
guard.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved with dry grass.
•
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
safety lock-off (Fig. 2 / Item 1) and the On/Off
switch (Fig. 2 / Item 2).
•
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch again (Fig. 2 / Item 2).
•
Do not allow the grass trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the grass
trimmer is in operation.
•
To cut properly, swing the machine sideways
while moving forwards. Keep the grass
trimmer inclined at an angle of approx. 30°
while you do so (see Figs. 16 and 17).
•
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut
shorter in stages, starting from the tip (see
Fig. 18).
•
Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary
wear.
•
To avoid unnecessary wear, keep the grass
trimmer away from hard objects.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
To cut the edges of lawns and fl ower beds, the
grass trimmer can be converted as follows:
•
Remove the battery pack
•
Pull the lock for the rotatable motor head in
the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 19.
•
Turn the motor head through 90° in the
required direction until it latches in place (Fig.
20).
•
Now you have converted the grass trimmer to
an edge trimmer for cutting the lawn vertically.
•
To convert the equipment back to its original
state, proceed in reverse order.
