Adjusting the height:
The telescopic tube enables you to adjust
the trimmer to your height.
‚ Release the screw sleeve.
(5). Adjust the telescopic
tube (6) to the required
length and retighten the screw sleeve.
Adjusting the spacing bow
(flower protection):
The spacing bow keeps plants and stalks
that are not to be cut away from the cut-
ting lines. The spacing bow can be po-
sitioned behind the spacing roll (parking
position) when it is no longer required.
 If the spacing bow (10) is no longer
required, it can be pushed away back-
wards (park position).
You can also disassemble the spacing
bow if not required (see “Assembling
instructions”).
Lengthening the cutting lines
Fully automatic dual line system
The equipment features a fully automatic
dual line system.
The lines will automatically elongate every
time you turn on the appliance. To support
proper line elongation, ensure that the coil
has stopped moving completely before
turning on the appliance again.
If the lines should be longer that defined
by the cutting circle then they will be au-
tomatically cut to the correct length by the
line cutter ( 13).
Regularly check the nylon lines for
damage and whether the lines still
have the correct length defined by
the line cutter.
When no line ends are visible:
• Renew the line spool ( 15) (see
“Cleaning and maintenance”).
Adjusting the line length manually:
• Disconnect the plug from the mains
socket!
Press the retaining head ( 14), re-
lease it again and pull the ends of the
cord out a little. Repeat this process
until the ends of the cord project a little
beyond the cord cutter ( 13).
Cutting grass
WARNING. Danger of injury!
• Do not cut moist or wet grass.
• Before starting the trimmer check
that the cutting head will not
come into contact with stones,
rubble or other foreign bodies.
• Switch on the trimmer before you
approach the grass that is to be
cut.
• Always trail the extension cable
behind you. Do not pass the
operating trimmer over the exten-
sion cable as the cable could be
damaged.
• Do not overload the trimmer dur-
ing operation.
• Avoid contact with obstacles
(stones, walls, fences, etc.) as
this will rapidly wear out the lines.
• Do not deposit the cutting head
( 9) on the ground during op-
eration.
• Ensure that the cutting head
( 9) has stopped before you
deposit the equipment on the
ground.
