Operation
Working Notes
• When cutting, observe the country-
specic / local regulations.
• Do not cut during commonly applica-
ble quiet periods.
• Solid objects such as stones, metal
pieces or similar must be removed.
These can be thrown out and there-
fore result in personal or property
damage.
• When cutting in high bushes or hedg-
es, the working height should be at
least 15 cm. This prevents the risk to
animals, e.g. hedgehogs.
Work safely and considerately!
• Always hold the equipment rmly and
securely with both hands
(see picture 8).
• Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware
of roots or tree stumps – risk of trip-
ping.
• Work considerately and endanger no-
body when cutting. Work quietly and
carefully.
• Work only in adequate visibility and
lighting conditions.
• Keep an eye on the cutting head.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Never replace the plastic cord with a
steel wire – risk of injury and damage.
• Do not work on a ladder.
• Work only on rm and stable bases.
• Always carry the equipment suspend-
ed by the shoulder strap or on the
tube.
Working with the Thread Reel
• On small grass areas, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of approx. 30° and
turn evenly to the right and left with a
semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with
maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the
grass is longer, mowing several times
is recommended.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, go slowly around the
obstacle with the equipment and cut
with the thread tips.
• Avoid contact with solid obstacles
(stones, walls, board fences etc) oth-
erwise the thread will quickly wear out.
Use the edge of the protective cover
to keep the equipment at the correct
distance
