6.1 General information

6.1.1 Putting on the harness (Fig. 27-28)
Important! Always use the harness when you
work with the tool. Switch off the tool before you
take off the harness. Otherwise there is a risk of
injury.
1. Slip the harness (Item 17) over your shoulder.
2. Adjust the length of the harness so that the
harness holder is at waist level.
3. The harness is equipped with a buckle. Press
the hooks together if you need to put down
the tool quickly.
6.1.2 Switching On/Off
Switching on (Fig. 29)
•
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the
handle (Item 4) and the other hand on the
steady grip (Item 16).
•
Press the switch lock (Item 3) and then press
the On/ Off switch (Item 2).
Switching off (Fig. 29)

7. Using for work
Danger! Work only with a fully assembled tool.
When you want to carry out work on the tool
itself, always wear protective gloves and use the
supplied blade covers to protect yourself against
injury.
Each time before use you must check that:
•
the safety devices and the cutting device are
in perfect condition and complete;
•
all screws are securely fastened
•
all moving parts move smoothly.
•
Never use a tool which is obviously damaged.
7.1 Working with the cordless trimmer/scythe
Practice all the work steps with the motor swit-
ched off and without the rechargeable battery
before you start to use the tool. Use the cutting
line only to mow dry grass. If the grass is long, the
grass must be cut shorter in stages (Fig. 30).

Extending the cutting line (Fig. 31)
Danger! Do not use metal wire or plastic-en-
cased metal wire in the line spool. This may cause
serious injuries to the user.
The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line
extension system (automatic jog line feed). Each
time you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion 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 and tap the line spool on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line.
The blade on the guard hood will cut the line to
the permissible length. Please note that the more
often you activate the semi-automatic line exten-
sion system, the more the line will wear.
Note: If the line is too long when you use the tool
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 tool for the fi rst time,
press the knob on the line spool and pull the line
hard. When you then start the tool for the fi rst time
the line will be cut to the perfect length automa-
tically.
Using a brush or similar, carefully remove all resi-
dual grass from the underside of the guard hood
at regular intervals.
Diff erent cutting methods
When the tool is correctly assembled it will cut
weeds and long grass in places which are diffi cult
to access, e.g. along fences, walls and founda-
tions, and also around trees. It can also be used
for „mowing" down vegetation so that a garden
can be better prepared or a certain area cleared
down to the soil.
Please note: Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc.
will result in the line suff ering more than normal
wear.
Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide which cutting
height you require. Guide and hold the line spool
at the required height to obtain an even cut (Fig.
32).
Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight
angle so that the underside of the line spool is
above the ground and the line strikes the correct
