9.8.1 Cutting string extension
Your unit is equipped with an automatic tapping dual string mechanism, i.e. both strings will
become extended when you tap the ground with the cutting attachment. If the strings are
initially longer than the given cutting diameter, the line cutting blade will automatically adjust
their length. Attention! Regularly remove dirt from the line cutting blade. Otherwise, its cutting
effect will be limited.
In case of a decreasing cutting performance:
Start the engine and hold the unit above grass. Hit the ground with the cutting attachment. The
string will extend itself automatically.
 In case it becomes impossible to extend the string:

Turn the unit off

Properly insert the spindle and strongly pull the string end.
 In case you do not see the string tips:

Change the string spindle.
9.9 Work with the metal cutting blade
Attention! During your work always wear the belt and suitable work clothes. Make sure the
cutting blade is properly mounted. Damaged and blunted unit components must be replaced.
There is a risk of injury.
 Use the cutting blade on free and flat surfaces. Carefully check all the areas to be treated
and remove all the foreign objects. Avoid any contact with stones, metal or other
obstacles. The metal cutting disk could become damaged and there is also a risk of
kicking.
 During your work, hold the cutting attachment close above the ground and move the unit
like a regular scythe from side to side.
