6. Operation

The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system. Each time you activate the
semi-automatic line extension system, the line
is automatically extended to ensure that you can
cut your lawn with the perfect cutting width at all
times. To extend the cutting line run the motor at
full speed and tap the line spool on the ground.
This will automatically extend the line. The blade
on the safety shield will cut the line to the appro-
priate length. Please note that the more often you
activate the semi-automatic line extension sys-
tem, the more the line will wear.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the
equipment for the fi rst time, the surplus end of it
will be cut by the blade on the guard hood.
If the line is too short when you start the machi-
ne for the fi rst time, press the knob on the line
spool and pull the line hard. When you start the
equipment again the line will be cut to the perfect
length automatically.
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you ob-
serve the following instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
•
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best re-
sults are had on dry grass.
•
Connect the power cable to the extension
cable and fasten this to the strain-relief clamp
(Figure 7/Item 13).
•
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7/Item 3).
•
To deactivate the grass trimmer, let go of the
On/Off switch (Figure 7 / Item 3).
•
Do not move the grass trimmer against the
grass until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until
the trimmer is running.
•
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, hol-
ding it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so
(see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
•
Make several passes to cut long grass shor-
ter step by step from the top (see Figure 10).
•
Use the edge guide and the guard hood to
prevent unnecessary wear on the line.
•
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard ob-
jects in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
