B. Operational Precautions
10. Only use your trimmer for cutting grass and weeds next to walls, under fences, around trees
and posts, on steps, garden paths and patios,
under bushes and hedges, on steep slopes, in
gaps between paving stones, etc.
C. Instructions regarding to safe handling
11. For a safe operation, it is recommended to supply the machine over a fault current safety breaker
(RCD) with a fault current not over 30 mA. Contact
an electrician for further information.
12. Before starting work check that your electric trimmer is in good condition and that it is
operating properly. Pay special attention to the
power supply cord, extension cord, power outlet,
switch and cutting head.
13. Before using the machine, the line and extension cords have to be checked for signs of damage or
ageing. Do not use the trimmer when the cords
are damaged or worn.
14. If the cord is damaged during utilisation, it must be disconnected immediately from the mains. DO
NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE IT IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS.
15. Attention! Danger. The cutting head continues to rotate after switch-off (flywheel effect). Keep
your fingers and feet well clear to avoid injury.
16. Only use extension cords that are approved for outdoor use and that are not lighter than rubber
tube cords type H07 RN-F according to DIN/VDE
0282 with a diameter of at least 1.5 mm
2. Couplings

20. Careless use can cause injuries to hand and feet by the rotating cutting elements.
21. Always hold your trimmer firmly - make sure you always maintain a good balance and secure
footing.
22. Work calmly and stay alert. Operate the trimmer under good visibility and daylight conditions only.
23. Arrange the extension cord so that it cannot be damaged and does not cause a hindrance.
24. Be careful not to chafe the extension cord on corners, pointed or sharp objects. Do not
squeeze extension cord, e.g. through narrow
gaps in doors or windows.
25. Make sure the open side of the protection guard is pointing away from yourself before you switch
on the trimmer.
26. Never tug the extension cord to disconnect the plug. Always grip the plug.
27. Use particular caution while working in dense growth areas where your view of the ground is
obscured.
28. Never leave your trimmer outdoors in rain.
29. Do not cut wet grass or other growth. Never use in rain.
30. Hold the extension cord so that it is always away from the rotating nylon line.
31. Transporting the electric trimmer, e.g. carrying it to another site: Switch of the unit, disconnect the
plug.
32. Take special care in slippery conditions - on slopes and uneven ground.
33. Work in a line across the slope and take special care when turning around.
34. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps and roots to  avoid stumbling.
35. Clean the cutting head at regular intervals.
36. Check the condition of the cutting head at frequent intervals. If the behaviour of the cutting
head changes (vibration, noise), check imme-
diately as follows: Switch off the trimmer, hold it
firmly and bring the cutting head to a standstill by
pressing it against the ground. Then disconnect
plug from power supply. Check condition of
cutting head - look for cracks.
37. Warning ! Danger of injury by the line cutting device. After replacing a spool or lengthening the
cutting line, be sure to bring the unit onto normal
working position before turning it on again.
38. Have a damaged cutting head replaced im- mediately - even if it only has superficial cracks.
Never attempt to repair a damaged cutting head.
39. Always switch off your trimmer and disconnect it 
						

							

from the power supply before taking a break and
after finishing work. Do not forget maintenance.
(Plug disconnected!) Only carry out maintenance
and repairs described in these operating in-
structions. Any other work should be performed
by your dealer.
40. Inspect cooling air slots on the motor housing at regular intervals for clog-ups and clean as
necessary.
41. Only use original spare parts.
42. Only use original cutting heads and replacement spools. Never use metal cutting devices.
43. Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning chemicals.
44. Never hose down the electric trimmer!
45. Store trimmer indoors in a dry, high or locked place and always keep out of reach of children.
Important notice - so your guarantee does not expire:
• Always keep the air-intake clean.
• Never use a longer line than the blade-retainer
allows to use (approx. 8 cm).
• Only use original monofilaments with 1,4 mm ø and
original spools.
• Never press the cutting head on the ground, when
doing this you brake the turned-on motor.
• Never hit the cutting head on a hard underground,
otherwise you will unbalance and damage the
motor shaft.
5. Mounting the protection cover  (ill. 1 - 3)
Place the protection cover onto the trimmer housing in
such a way that the 2 guide edges of the protection
cover are located in the corresponding gaps of the
motor housing. Now turn the protection cover by 90° up
to the right position as shown in the illustration. The
guide edges of the protection cover must be placed
properly in the corresponding groove of the motor
housing. Finally, fix the protection cover with the
enclosed screw.
As an option your trimmer may also come with the
following version of the protection cover  (Fig. 3).
In this case,  the  mounting  screw is held by a fixing
device  on  the  bottom  side  of  the protection cover.
Please remove  the screw from the fixing device and
proceed as described above.
Attention:  (Ill. 2) To protect users from cuts through
the thread cutter fixed to the protection cap, a plastic
cover in luminous colour (X) is put on the cutter blade
of your lawn trimmer. This plastic cover (X) has to be
removed before operating the trimmer. Please keep
this cover carefully and use it when the trimmer is
moved or stored.
6. Connecting the trimmer  (ill. 4)
The machine can only be used on single-phase AC
current. It is double-insulated in accordance with
Class II VDE 0740 and EEC 20. Before using the
trimmer, ensure that the mains voltage is the same as
the operating voltage shown on the rating plate. Wires of extension cord must have the following
minimum cross sectional area:
                                     1,5 mm
2
• Connect trimmer’s plug to extension cord coupling.
• Make a loop in the extension cord, push it through the opening in the handle and hook over the lug (strain
relief).
• After finishing work, unhook loop from lug and pull it out of the handle.
7. Switching on / off (Ill. 5)
To operate your grass trimmer:
• Make sure you have a secure footing.
• Hold the trimmer firmly (with both hands
).
• Stand upright - hold trimmer in relaxed position.
• Do not rest the cutting head on the ground.
• Squeeze the switch 1.
• The trimmer is switched off when you release the switch .
8. Trimming grass and weeds (ill. 6)
• Sweep trimmer back and forth uniformly to cut small patches of grass or weeds. The trimmer is not
constructed and suitable for cutting large areas.
• Wherever possible, cut with left-hand side so that cuttings, dust and stones are thrown forwards, away
from the user.
• Ideal working conditions are achieved if the trimmer is tilted to the left at an angle approx. of 30°.
9. Prolongation of the cutting thread
Check the nylon line regularly if it is damaged or if it still
has the correct length.
Your lawn trimmer is equipped with a fully automatic
thread adjustment function. This means, that, in case
of normal use, the worn thread will be automatically
prolonged through a mechanism based on the centri-
fugal force. Thus, the user does not have to adjust the
thread length by hand any longer.  Nevertheless, it is
recommended that you regularly check the nylon thread
for damages before you use the trimmer. The thread is
fully used up, if you realise a material decrease of the
cutting performance and a significant higher speed. In
this case, you will have to proceed as described under
point 11 (Replacing the thread coil).
Your trimmer has a thread cutting blade that continuously
cuts the thread down to the appropriate length (fig.7).
Note:  Clean the thread cutting blade from grass remain-
ders in order to guarantee an unaffected cutting per-
formance.
Attention:  Danger of injury through the cutting blade !
10. Replacing the thread coil  (fig. 8)
Unplug the device. Hold fast housing 1, anticlockwise
turn the worn thread coil 2 at its corrugated edge and 
						

							
10/2003
remove it from its housing. Lead the free thread end(s)
of the new coil through the opening(s) in the housing.
Put thread coil 2 in housing 1 and push it down as far
as possible. The coil shall lock into place with a
distinctive  click. If this should not be the case, move
the coil by slightly turning it until it locks into place.
11. Trouble shooting
•
Trimmer does not work:  Check power supply (e.g.
by testing on another socket or by means of a voltage
tester). Should it still not work, although the socket is
o.k., send it undismantled to an authorised service
station for repair.
• Cutting line disappears into spool:  Remove spool
(acc. to point 10), pull end of line through the metal
outlet and reinsert spool. In case nylon line is used
up insert a new spool with line.
Do not make any other repairs on your own; have your
trimmer checked and repaired by an authorised
service station.
12. Storing
• Clean the unit thoroughly, especially the cooling air slots on the motor housing.
• Do not use water to clean the device.
• Store trimmer indoors in a dry, high or locked place and keep out of reach of children.
13. Repair service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried
out by a specialised electrician.
