5. Mounting the protection cover
Place the protection cover onto the trimmer housing in
such a way that the 2 round guide edges sit at the casing
exactly into the openings of the protective covering.
Press down the protective covering at the protection
cover at and turns you to the fortification the two
included screws (A).
Attention: request it heeds you that the protective
covering doesn't turn you on the casing around puts down.
The surviving edge must show to the back, to the grip.
Attention: (fig. 1) To protect users from cuts through
the thread cutter fixed to the protection cap, a plastic
cover is put on the cutter blade of your lawn trimmer
(X). This plastic cover has to be removed before
operating the trimmer. Please keep this cover carefully
and use it when the trimmer is moved or stored.
6. Connecting the trimmer
The machine can only be used on single-phase AC current.
It is double-insulated in accordance with Class II VDE 0700
and EEC 20. Before using the trimmer, ensure that the
mains voltage is the same as the operating voltage shown
on the rating plate.
Wires of extension cord must have the following minimum
cross sectional area:
1,5 mm 2
• Connect trimmer's plug to extension cord coupling.
• Make a loop in the extension cord, push it through the
opening in the handle and hook over the lug (strain relief).
• After finishing work, unhook loop from lug and pull it out
of the handle.
7. Switching on / off
To operate your grass trimmer:
• Make sure you have a secure footing.
(fig. 1)
(fig. 2)
(fig. 3)
• Hold the trimmer firmly (with both hands).
• Stand upright - hold trimmer in relaxed position.
• Do not rest the cutting head on the ground.
• Squeeze the switch 1.
• The trimmer is switched off when you release the switch.
8. Trimming Grass and Weeds
• Sweep trimmer back and forth uniformly to cut small
patches of grass or weeds. The trimmer is not con-
structed and suitable for cutting large areas.
• Wherever possible, cut with left-hand side so that cut-
tings, dust and stones are thrown forwards, away from
the user.
• Ideal working conditions are achieved if the trimmer is
tilted to the left at an angle approx. of 30°.
9. Adjusting nylon line
Check the nylon line regularly if it is damaged or if it still
has the correct length.
When cutting performance deteriorates: Hold the run-ning
trimmer above a patch of grass. Tap the cutting head on the
ground (fig. 5). Note the fresh line will be ad-vanced only
if lines are still at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) long. If the lines are
shorter: Switch off the trimmer, disconnect plug from
power supply. Press in the spool and pull end of lines
firmly outwards (fig. 6). If end of lines are not visible -
see point 10 (replacement of spool).
Your trimmer has a thread cutting blade that continuously
cuts the thread down to the appropriate length (fig. 7).
Note: Clean the thread cutting blade from grass remain-
ders in order to guarantee an unaffected cutting perform-
ance.
Attention: Danger of injury through the cutting blade !
10. Replacement of spool
First, switch off and unplug the device. Wait until the nylon
thread has come to a halt. T hen push the two locking
devices 1 at the sides of the cutting head, and remove the
cutting head cover 2 (fig. 8). Remove the used thread coil
and put in the new coil 3 such, that one end of the thread
comes out of each outlet at the sides of the cutting head
(fig. 9). Please take care that the spring 4 is properly seated
under the thread coil. Finally, close the cover by pushing it
in its seat. Both locks must properly engage.
11. Trouble shooting
• Trimmer does not work: Check power supply (e.g. by
testing on another socket or by means of a voltage
tester). Should it still not work, although the socket is
o.k., send it undismantled to an authorised service
station for repair.
• Cutting line disappears into spool: Remove spool
(acc. to point 10), 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.
