Operation

Switch on the machine before approaching the grass
„
to be cut.
Angle the machine forwards slightly, max. 30°, and
„
walk forwards slowly.

„
the grass.
Long grass must be cut in several passes. Always proceed
from top to bottom.
Tap the spool head on the ground from time to
time when working. The automatic tip function
always keeps the line at optimum length.
Make sure the motor is stopped before you remove
„
any cuttings.

The vibration value during use of the electrical
implement may differ from the indicated value,
depending on what the machine is used for.
Do not overload the machine during work.

the ground.
The line is automatically extended.

The knife on the guard plate shortens the line to
the permitted length.
Trimming

height.
2. Guide the spool head at the required height and hold
it there.
3. Sweep the machine from side to side with a scything
motion.
