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. 11).
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 !
11. Replacement of spool (fig. 12 + 13)
First, switch off and unplug the device. Wait until the
nylon thread has come to a halt. Then push the two
locking devices 1 at the sides of the cutting head, and
remove the cutting head cover 2. Remove the used
thread coil and put in the new coil 3 such, that one end
of the thread comes out of each outlet at the sides of
the cutting head. Finally, close the cover by pushing it in
its seat. Both locks must properly engage.
12. Cutting diameter indicator (fig. 14)
• Cutting diameter indicator – indicates the maximum
cutting diameter of the cutting thread to protect your
valuable decorative plants from unintentional damage.
• The cutting diameter indicator must be fastened to
the protection cover using the two screws provided as
shown in the figure.
• You can, of course, operate your trimmer without these
additional devices.
13. 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 11), 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. Please contact your dealer in case of
failures or if you need any spare parts.
14. 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.
15. Repair service
Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried
out by specialist electrical personnnel.
