Different cutting methods
If the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut
weeds and long grass in places with difficult access,
for example along fences, walls and foundations and
also around trees. It can also be used for mowing
work to remove vegetation to allow the better
preparation of a garden or to clear a certain area
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 suffering above 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 what cutting height
you require. Guide and hold the line spool at the
required height to ensure that you cut evenly (Fig.
9d).
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 target. Always
cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer
towards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations
When cutting approach wire mesh fences, lath
fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so
that you can cut close to them without striking the
obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes
stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray.
If the line strikes wire fencing it will break.
Trimming around trees
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly
so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around
the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or
weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool
forwards slightly.
Warning: Take extreme care during mowing work.
When doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters
between yourself and other people or animals.
Mowing
For mowing you want to cut all the vegetation down to
the ground. To do this, set the line spool at an angle
of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required
position. Remember the increased risk of injury to the
user, watchers and animals and the danger of
damaging other items due to objects (for example
stones) being thrown out (Fig. 9e).

Warning: Do not remove any objects from footpaths,
etc. using the equipment.
The equipment is a powerful tool and can throw small
stones and other objects a distance of 15 meters or
more, causing injuries and damage to cars, houses
and windows.
Sawing
The equipment is not suitable for sawing.
Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to
cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the engine
immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the
equipment before you restart it.
Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade there is a risk of recoil
if it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks,
branches, tree stumps, stones or the like. This will
throw the equipment backwards in the direction
opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause
you to lose control of the equipment. Do not use the
blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or
foundations.
For cutting dense stalks, position it as shown in
Figure 9f to prevent recoil.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the
spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance
work.
8.1 Replacing the line spool/cutting line
1. Dismantle the line spool (13) as described in
section 6.1.6. Press the spool together (Fig. 12a)
and remove one half of the housing (Fig. 12b).
2. Take the line spool out of the line spool housing
(Fig. 12c).
3. Remove any remaining cutting line.
4. Place the new cutting line in the center and attach
the resulting loop to the recess in the spool splitter
(Fig. 12d).
5. Wind the line on to the spool counter-clockwise
with tension. The spool splitter will separate the
two halves of the nylon line (Fig. 12e).
6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line to
the line holders opposite the line spool (Fig. 12f).
7. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal
eyelets in the line spool housing (Fig. 12c).
8. Press the line spool into the line spool housing.
