ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Pos. 2).
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, holding it
at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so (see
Figure 19-20).
Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 21).
Make full use of the guide hood in order to avoid
unnecessary line wear.
Keep the grass trimmer away from hard objects
in order to avoid unnecessary line wear.
9. Using the grass trimmer as an edge
trimmer
The grass trimmer can be adjusted as follows to trim
the edge of lawns and beds.
Remove the battery (Fig. 15 + 16)
Press the setting knob (Fig. 1 / Item 3)
Press and hold the setting knob and turn the top
handle through 180° until it locks.
The grass trimmer can thus be adjusted for use
as an edge trimmer for making vertical cuts on
the grass (Fig. 23).
10. Replacing the line spool (Fig. 10-12)
IMPORTANT! Make sure that you unplug the
rechargeable battery before replacing the line
spool (Fig. 15-16)!
Attach the knife guard.
Press the sides of the spool cover as shown and
remove it with the spool (Figure 10+11). Ensure
that you do not lose the spring.
Remove the empty line spool.
Thread the ends of the line on the new line spool
through the eyelets in the spool cover (fig. 12)
Fit the spool cover and spool back into the spool
mounting.
Remove the knife guard. Caution: Risk of
injury.
The line will be cut to the correct length when the
cutting head starts up again.
Caution! Catapulted pieces of nylon line may
cause injury!

11. Charging the battery (Fig. 15 – 18)
Recharging the battery
1. Take the battery pack out of the machine. Press
the locking buttons on the side to release the
battery pack (Fig. 15-16).
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Connect the changer's mains lead to a socket-
outlet and place the battery in the charger (Fig.
17). When the mains voltage is switched on the
green LED on the charger will light up (Fig. 18 /
Item C)
3. To start the charging process press the charge
button (Fig. 18 / Item B) on the charger. If the
battery is correctly inserted, two LED's (red +
green) will now be lit. The charger will end the
charging process automatically when the battery
is fully charged (after approx. 90 minutes). This is
indicated by the red LED (Fig. 18 / Item A) going
out.
The rechargeable battery can become a little warm
during the charging process. This is normal.
Note: You can use the charger as a wall bracket
using the holes on the rear of it (Fig. 22).
When you insert the battery again ensure that it locks
securely in the mounting Fig. 16 /Item B) with the
opening at the rear (Fig. 16 / Item A).
If the battery pack fails to charge, please check
whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
the battery charger with charging adapter
and the battery pack
to our customer services department.
To ensure that the NC battery pack provides long
service you should take care to recharge it promptly.
Recharging is always necessary when you notice a
drop in the performance of your cordless grass
trimmer.
Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will
cause it to develop a defect.
