Working Notes
• When cutting, observe the country-
• 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 therefore
result in personal or property damage.
• When cutting in high bushes or
hedges, the working height should be
at least 15 cm. This prevents the risk to
animals, e.g. hedgehogs.
securely with both hands.
• Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware of
roots or tree stumps – risk of tripping.
• 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.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture.
Ensure that your footing is secure and
keep your balance at all times.
• Change your working position at regu-
lar intervals in order to prevent becom-
ing tired on one side of your body.
• If the cutting head becomes jammed,
turn the device off immediately, re-
move the spark plug connector and
then remove the cause of the blockage.
Adjusting the carrying
harness eyelet/balanc-
ing out the device
Select the correct position for the carrying
harness eyelet according to whether you are
using a spool or blade.
The thread spool or blade (depending on
which is selected) should be situated as fol-
lows without needing them to be touched
by hand:
The thread spool should lie gently on
the ground.
The blade should be balanced around
20 cm above the ground.
1. Release the screw (58) on the carrying har-
ness eyelet (9) using the hexagon socket
wrench (24) and re-fasten but only gently.
2. Balance the strimmer according to the
above criteria (depending on the cut-
ting unit chosen) by sliding the eyelet
(9) on the shaft tube (8).
3. Tighten the screw (58) once the strim-
mer is in the desired position.
Attaching the cable holders:
4. 4. Fasten the machine cable (
18)
using the two cable holders (
19) be-
neath the engine head (
1) and right
or left from the eyelet (9).
Working using the thread spool
• 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 maxi-
mum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass
is longer, mowing several times is recom-
mended.
