Operation
Working Notes
•
When cutting, observe the country-
speciic / local regulations.
•
Do not cut during commonly applica-
ble quiet periods.
•
Solid objects such as stones, metal
pieces or similar must be removed.
These can be thrown out and therefore
result in personal or property damage.
•
When cutting in high bushes or
hedges, the working height should be
at least 15 cm. This prevents the risk to
animals, e.g. hedgehogs.
•
Always hold the equipment irmly and
securely with both hands.
•
Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware of
roots or tree stumps – risk of tripping.
•
Work considerately and endanger no-
body when cutting. Work quietly and
carefully.
•
Work only in adequate visibility and
lighting conditions.
•
Keep an eye on the cutting head.
•
Never cut above shoulder height.
•
Never replace the plastic cord with a
steel wire – risk of injury and damage.
•
Do not work on a ladder.
•
Work only on irm and stable bases.
•
Avoid an abnormal body posture.
Ensure that your footing is secure and
keep your balance at all times.
•
Change your working position at regu-
lar intervals in order to prevent becom-
ing tired on one side of your body.
•
If the cutting head becomes jammed,
turn the device off immediately, re-
move the spark plug connector and
then remove the cause of the blockage.
Adjusting the carrying
harness eyelet/balanc-
ing out the device
Select the correct position for the carrying
harness eyelet according to whether you are
using a spool or blade.
The thread spool or blade (depending on
which is selected) should be situated as fol-
lows without needing them to be touched
by hand:
The thread spool should lie gently on
the ground.
The blade should be balanced around
20 cm above the ground.
1. Release the screw (58) on the carrying har-
ness eyelet (9) using the hexagon socket
wrench (24) and re-fasten but only gently.
2. Balance the strimmer according to the
above criteria (depending on the cut-
ting unit chosen) by sliding the eyelet
(9) on the shaft tube (8).
3. Tighten the screw (58) once the strim-
mer is in the desired position.
Attaching the cable holders:
4. 4. Fasten the machine cable (
using the two cable holders (
neath the engine head (
or left from the eyelet (9).
Working using the thread spool
• On small grass areas, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of approx. 30° and
turn evenly to the right and left with a
semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with maxi-
mum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass
is longer, mowing several times is recom-
mended.
