edges (Fig. 10): Slide the shaft
to its shortest or longest position

• Sweep trimmer back and forth
uniformly to cut small patches of
grass or weeds. The trimmer is
not constructed and suitable for
cutting large areas.
• Wherever possible, cut with left-
hand side so that cuttings, dust
and stones are thrown forwards,
away from the user.
• Ideal
working
conditions
achieved if the trimmer is tilted to
the left at an angle approx. of 30°.
When cutting performance dete-
riorates: Hold the running trimmer
above a patch of grass. Tap the
cutting head on the ground. Note
the fresh line will be advanced only
if lines are still at least 2.5 cm (1
inch) long.
If the line(s) is (are) shorter: Switch
off the trimmer, disconnect plug from
power supply. Press in the spool
and pull end of line(s) firmly out-
wards. If end of line(s) is (are) not
visible - see (replacement of spool).
Your trimmer has a thread cut-
ting blade that continuously cuts
the thread down to the appropriate
length (fig. 14).
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade
from grass remainders in order to
guarantee an unaffected cutting per-
formance.
Attention: Danger of injury through
the cutting blade!
