Lawn Trimming/Edge Cutting (see figures I − K)
Lawn trimming (see figure I)
Press the foot pedal (4) and set the 48° angle for lawn trim-
ming.
Move the trimmer left and right, keeping it well away from
the body. Cut higher grass in steps.
Edge cutting (see figure J)
Press the foot pedal (4) and set the 36° angle for edge cut-
ting. Rotate the handle by 180° and then turn the trimmer
clockwise to the desired working position.
Guide the trimmer along the edge of the lawn. By using the
wheel, you avoid contact with solid surfaces or walls to pre-
vent rapid wear of the cutting line.
Cutting around trees and bushes (see figure K)
Press the foot pedal (4) and set the 24° angle for cutting
around trees and bushes.
Carefully cut around trees and bushes so that they do not
come into contact with the cutting line. Plants can die if you
damage the bark.
Dismounting the spool, winding up the cutting
line and mounting the spool (see figures N to L)
Remove the battery before replacing the spool.

Press both latches of the spool cover together and remove
the spool cover (13). Afterwards, remove the empty spool
(14).
Cut off approx. 6 m line from the refill roll. Thread the end of
the line into the spool's hole for line wind-up (15). Thread/
work the line under the hook (17). Then, thread/work the
line up and through the slot (18) in the spool. Afterwards,
wind up the thread on the spool uniformly and tightly.
Slide the other end of the cutting line through the hole for
line guiding (19) in the trimmer head and mount the spool
back into the trimmer head. Affix the spool by mounting the
spool cover (13).
The spool cover (13) can only be mounted in one position.
