A replacement spool may be stored in a removable com-
partment on the grip housing (fig. 12).
To remove the compartment cover, pull firmly on the
marked positions. After the spool has been removed,
replace the cover firmly.
Adjusting the mowing string
• Whenever the mowing performance decreases, it is
necessary to adjust (to extend) the mowing string.
• Turn the mowing machine on and hold it above the grass.
• With the motor running, knock the head on the grass
(fig. 13). The string will automatically extend and the
cutting device will reduce it down to the right length.
Note: If the string is shorter than 2.5 cm, it is necessary
to adjust it manually. Press the red push-button on the
coil until it reaches the stop and pull the end of the string.
If you cannot see the end of the string at all, proceed as
described in „Replacing the Mowing String".
Trouble shooting
• Cutting line disappears into spool: Remove spool, pull
end of line through the metal outlet and reinsert spool. In
case nylon line is used up insert a new spool with line.
Do not make any other repairs on your own; have your
trimmer checked and repaired by an authorised dealer.
Maintenance and care
Attention - risk of injury! Always remove the re-
chargeable battery from the device before all work.
Clean your battery-operated mowing machine thoroughly
each time after you use it. Remove the grass and dirt.
Clean the ventilation openings. It is best to clean the
plastic parts with a wet cloth and a soft detergent. Never
use aggressive detergents or solvents. Do not pour water
into the machine and do not sprinkle it with water. Store
the mowing machine in a dry place, never expose it to
frost and keep it out of children's reach.
For more extensive maintenance or repairs, give the
mowing machine to the service center.
