Using the string trimmer as an edge trimmer
(Fig. 16- 17)
To cut the edges of lawns alongside e.g. fl ower
beds (vertical cutting), the grass trimmer can be
converted into a lawn edge trimmer.

adjustment (Item 17). While holding the angle of
tilt adjustment (Item 17) in place, pull the long
handle upwards out of the lock and turn it 180°
counter-clockwise until it latches home. Tilt the
long handle as required (see section 5.4). Use the
edge guide (see section 5.5).
7. Cleaning and maintenance
HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
