Working with the Thread Reel
•
On small grass areas, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of approx. 30° and
turn evenly to the right and left with a
semi-circular movement.
•
The best results are obtained with
maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the
grass is longer, mowing several times
is recommended.
•
To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, go slowly around the
obstacle with the equipment and cut
with the thread tips.
•
Avoid contact with solid obstacles
(stones, walls, board fences etc) oth-
erwise the thread will quickly wear out.
Use the edge of the protective cover
to keep the equipment at the correct
distance
Caution! Do not place the cut-
ting head on the ground during
operation!
Extending the cutting thread
The equipment comes with a double-
thread tap mechanism, i.e. both threads
extend if the cutting head is tapped on the
ground.
1. Hold the equipment in operation over a
grassy area and lightly tap the cutting
head a few times on the ground. This
extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter included in the pro-
tective cover cuts the thread to the
desired length.
If the thread ends no longer extend:
•
Switch off the equipment.
•
Press the reel insert until it stops and
give a strong pull on the thread end.

If no thread ends are visible:
•
Replace the thread reel (see chapter
on Changing the Reel).
Caution! Thread remnants may be
thrown out and cause injuries.
Working with the Metal
Cutting Blade
When working, always wear the
carrying strap and appropriate
protective clothing. Wear eye,
ear and head protection. Ensure
that the cutting blade is installed
properly. Replace damaged or
blunt tools. Risk of injury.
Use the cutting blade only to work
on open, level areas. Inspect care-
fully the area to be cut and remove
all foreign bodies. Avoid impacts
on stones, metal or other obsta-
cles. The metal cutting blade could
be damaged and there is a risk of
recoil.
•
When working, hold the cutting head
over the ground and swing the equip-
ment slowly to and fro in an even
curve, like a strimmer.
•
Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
•
Do not use the equipment to cut un-
controlled growth, undergrowth or
scrub.
•
Check the metal cutting blade regular-
ly for damage and replace damaged
cutting blades.
If the Equipment Vibrates
Clean the equipment, remove any grass
remnants present on the cutting head and
in the protective cover.
