Using the grass trimmer
WARNING!
Risk of injury and damage!
If grass, rocks, hard objects or similar jam the cutting unit, the grass
trimmer could be damaged and you could injure yourself.
− Immediately switch the grass trimmer off and pull the mains
cord if grass, rocks, hard objects or similar block the cutting unit.
Wait until the cutting unit has come to a complete stop and then
carefully remove the debris. Wear protective gloves for this.
• If you use the grass trimmer for the first time or if you have
replaced the line spool, any excess thread will be automatically
shortened by the blade of the protective cover. Remove the pro-
tective blade sticker before use.
• The grass trimmer has a fully automatic thread extension system. If
operating the grass trimmer shortens the thread, it will automati-
cally extend to the maximum cutting diameter. As a result, you can
always work at the optimal cutting diameter.
• Only approach the grass with the grass trimmer once the grass
trimmer has been switched on.
1. Make sure that the grass trimmer has been switched off and the On/Off switch
2
has not been pushed down.
2. Arrange the extension cord (approx. 30cm from the end of the extension cord) in
a loop.
3. Run the loop through the hole in the handle
1
(see Fig.H).
4. Hang the loop in the cable holder on the handle.
5. Gently pull the extension cord to ensure that it is securely fitted in the cable holder.
6. Connect the mains cord

to the extension cord.
7. Connect the extension cord to a socket.
8. Switch the grass trimmer on by pushing the On/Off switch.
Hold the On/Off switch down.
9. Hold the grass trimmer in both hands. Hold the handle with one hand and the extra
handle with the other.
Hold the grass trimmer to the side slightly away from your body (see Fig. I and J).
