How to cut correctly
DANGER! Risk of injury! Always switch
the motor off before you set down the
product!
– Check the area you wish to cut and remove any
objects that may be thrown up by the blade.
– Check the safety equipment on the device
before the start of work.
– Starting the motor
– Carry the device as described using the strap
and hold the operating bar (3) firmly with both
hands.
– Push down fully on the gas lever (23). Always cut
at full speed!
Lengthening the thread
DANGER! Risk of injury! When
performing work on the thread spool,
always switch the motor off!
When the unit no longer cuts cleanly, the threads
have become too short.
The best cutting results are obtained when the
thread is lengthened far enough to be cut by the
blade to the correct length.
Lengthening the thread in cutting operation
– Briefly tap the underside of the spool
housing (11) on the ground when the machine is
running.
– If the thread is still not long enough, tap it on the
ground again.
The threads will automatically be cut to the correct
length by the blade.
Lengthening threads by hand
If the threads are too short then they can not be
lengthened by tapping.
They must be pulled from the thread spool housing
by hand.
– Place the product on the floor.
– Using one hand, press the underside of the
thread spool housing and pull both threads out
until they reach slightly further than the edge of
the protective hood (10).
The threads will be cut to the correct length by the
blade next time the unit is used.
