• When working, hold the cutter above
the ground and slowly swivel the device
back and forth like a scythe in an equal
arch.
• Do not hold the cutting head at an an-
gle.
• Do not use the device to cut wild growth
or brushwood.
• Regularly check the blades for damage
and replace as needed.
If the Equipment Vibrates
Clean the equipment, remove any grass
remnants present on the cutting head and
in the protective cover.
Care and Maintenance
The maintenance and clean-
ing work must always be
carried out with the engine
switched off and the spark
plug connector removed (
A
2).
Have any work not described
in these instructions carried
out by our service centre.
Never use metallic threads or
saw blades. The use of such
non-original parts can cause
personal injury and irrepara-
ble damage to the equipment
and will result in immediate
invalidation of the guarantee.
Cleaning the Equipment
• Clean the cutting device and protective
cover of grass and earth after each cut-
ting procedure.
• Always keep the handles clean and
free of grass.
• Clean the equipment with a soft brush
or a damp cloth.
Protect the equipment from
damage! The equipment is to be
neither sprayed with water nor placed
in water. Do not use detergents or sol-
vents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment.
Changing the Reel
The protective cover must be
fully mounted when using
the thread spool. (See Chap-
ter: “Removing/mounting the
protective cover extension”)
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Place the equipment on the
ground and ensure that no fuel
leaks and that the equipment is
safely supported.
3. Block the uptake spindle (51)
using the Allen key (25) as de-
picted. Use the larger of the two
Allen keys (5 mm).

wise to the mounting spindle (51).
4. Open the spool case (15) by
rmly pressing the click lock in-
wards (41) on both sides of the

A Phillips-head screwdriver can
be used to assist in opening the
spool case.
Proceed with caution: do not
damage the spool.
5. Place the new spool (16) into
the spool case cover (15) and
insert the two ends of the thread
through the thread outlets (42).
6. Place the thread spool (16) into
the spool case cover (15) and al-
low the cover to latch back into
the spool case (15).
