Possible cause
Spool is empty.
Dirt and debris in spool drive mechanism.
Line is torn and stuck inside spool.
Line is „welded" to itself or to spool through heat
build-up.
• Edge function (horizontal cut)
Working angle 4 (Fig. c)
The edge function enables precise and convenient trimming
along the edge of the lawn.
1. Turn cutting head 90° (Fig. B)
2. Set handle angle (Fig. )
Recommendation: In order to achieve an even and clean
cut, you should use the wheels (see ccessories).
Telescoping handle (only GT 840) and grip
The trimmer is adjusted to your body height by means of the
telescoping handle and the middle grip (Fig. C / D).
Insert power cable into cable holder
The power cable holder in the guide grip prevents accidental
disconnection of the extension cable (Fig. E).
On / off switch (Fig. F)
Tips on trimming
• Cut high grass slowly, step by step.
• If the cutting cord becomes too short due to normal wear,
simply switch off the trimmer. The cord will then automati-
cally adjust to the correct length.
• Whenever the trimmer is switched off and then on again, the
cord automatically lengthens 6-8 mm. If the trimmer is fre-
quently switched on and off for no reason, this will increase
wear of the cord.
• You can prolong the life of your trimmer by removing grass
from the ventilation slots and the bottom of the trimmer be-
fore or after each use.
Important! lways disconnect from the power supply before
performing any work on the trimmer!
4. In order to prevent accidental unwinding, do not remove the
cord ends of the new cord spool from the slits before insert-
ing the spool (Fig. H)
5. Insert cord spool into housing (Fig. J)
Important! The bumps on the cord spool must face the
cover!
6. Place the spool cover on the cord spool holder so that the
two locking tabs lock into place.
Before switching on: Hold trimmer parallel to the ground; oth-
erwise, there is danger of injury.
