6. Clean the cutting means regularly. Stop the engine, 
switch the machine off and unplug the spark plug 
connector before checking.
7. Trim in steps when the grass is very high. Do not cut 
the total height at once.
8. Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before 
placing it down.
9. The trimmer head is equipped with a bumper helping 
to cut the trimmer line while operating. Tap the bumper 
on a stable surface and the spool will release a fresh 
trimmer line.
10. A knife which is integrated in the guard will cut the 
line to the required length. Always remove the knife 
protection before operation and refit afterwards.
TIPS
1. For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends 
to stick to the cutting means and guard, prevents proper 
discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip 
and fall.
2. Pay special attention when performing the work close 
to trees and bushes. The cutting means can damage 
sensitive bark, and damage fence posts.
3. Regularly remove clippings and dirt around the 
trimmer head with a switched off product.
4. After use, switch the machine off, unplug the spark 
plug connector and let it cool down.
8. Maintenance and repairs
