Note! The battery (14) will not reach its full capacity
when charged for the first time. The red light illuminates
until the charging device (16) is disconnected from the
mains. Multiple charging cycles may be required in order
to reach the maximum charge.
Note: The battery is equipped with a deep-discharge
protection feature: the tool is automatically switched off
if the battery is discharged. Recharge the battery imme-
diately if this should be the case.
Thermal and voltage protection
If the tool is subject to excessively high loads for an ex-
tended period, the rechargeable battery may switch off.
If this occurs leave the battery to cool down for approx.
30 minutes.
Assembly
Attention - risk of injury! Always remove the
rechargeable battery from the device before all
work.
Installing the protective cover (Fig. 3)
If the blade disc is fitted then this must be removed. To
do so loosen the screw (A) (left-handed thread).
Place the protective cover on the strimmer housing such
that both guide bars on the protective cover lie in the
corresponding recesses in the motor housing. Now turn
the protective cover through approx. 30 degrees until it
reaches the correct position.
Attention: request it heeds you that the protective cov-
ering doesn't turn you on the casing around puts down.
The surviving edge must show to the back, to the grip.
Subsequently secure the protective cover with the 2
screws (B) and fit the blade disc.
Attention: After assembly, the protection cover will
permanently remain mounted to the trimmer. The device
must never be operated without protection cover!
Install additional handle (Fig. 4 and 5)
Turn off the knob and remove the threaded bolt from the
included handle. Put the handle onto the tube as shown
in Fig. 4. Slide the handle to the desired position and fix
it using the threaded bolt and knob.
Cutting width indicator/plant protector guard (Fig. 6)
The bar on the front of the strimmer serves as a plant
protector guard and a cutting width indicator. The cutting
blade only moves within the dimensions of the unfolded
bar. However, the strimmer can also be operated with
the bar folded up if required.
Putting the machine in operation

GB-7
actuate the switch (1) (Fig. 8). After switching on, the
switch-on inhibit (2) must no longer be held.
In order to switch off, release the switch (1) (Fig. 8).
To do so, turn the ribbed plastic sleeve clockwise to
loosen the connection. Adjust the tube to the suit-
able length and fasten the connection by turning the
tapped sleeve anti-clockwise.
Press the button (8) - the strimmer head is disen-
gaged and can be pivoted in four positions relative
to the shaft.
Set the tilting angle as previously described.
Turn the handle (Fig. 11): Lift the plastic cover up-
wards to release (1). It is now possible to turn the
handle through 180° (2). The plastic cover must be
subsequently latched into place again.
(fig. 13)
Move the mowing machine evenly from oneside to
another.
If possible, mow by using the left half of the mowing
machine. The mowed parts of plants and / or stones
will thus be hurled forward away from the operating
person.
The best possible cutting result are achieved when
you hold the trimmer with an angle of 20°- 30° to
the left side.
Avoid contact between the mowing string and obsta-
cles such as fences, walls, stones, etc. This leads to
excessive wear and tear.
Attention - risk of injury! Always remove the
rechargeable battery from the device before all
work.
Attention - risk of injury! Always remove the re-
