Cutting tips
• Only cut with the right-hand(here dark grey) part
of the cutting area by moving the device from left
to right in a semi-circle.
• Gentle and rebound-free cutting is possible only
in this area.
• Never set in the left-hand (here light grey) area
for cutting.Here there is a high risk of rebound
and objects may be slung in your direction by the
rotation of the cutting tool. This may cause
injury.
• When moving the device from right to left, you
must keep the cutting tool away from the
ground, so that nothing is flung away.
• Cut long grasses from top to bottom to ensure
that the grasses do not get tangled around the
spool.
• Only use the tip of the thread. This way you use
less thread and avoid grass getting caught up in
the spool.
• Only take the thread as close as absolutely nec-
essary to posts, walls, fences etc. Solid objects
will wear the thread.
• Tree trunks, young trees and bushes may be
damaged by the thread.
Lengthening the thread
When the unit no longer cuts cleanly, the threads
have become too short.
The best cutting results are obtained when the
threads are lengthened so far that they are cut by the
blade to the correct length.
Lengthening the thread in cutting operation
– Briefly tap the underside of the thread spool on
the ground when the machine is running.
– If the thread is still not long enough, tap it on the
ground again.
The threads will automatically be cut to the correct
length by the blade.
Lengthening threads by hand
If the threads are too short then they cannot be
lengthened by tapping. They must be pulled from the
thread spool by hand.
– Place the unit on the floor.
– Using one hand, press the underside of the
thread spool and pull both threads out until they
reach slightly further than the edge of the protec-
tive hood.
The threads will be cut to the correct length by the
blade next time the unit is used.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance overview
DANGER! Risk of injury! The device may
only be put into operation if there are no

replaced before the device is used again.
WARNING! Risk of injury! Before starting
work check the area and remove all objects
which may be kicked up by the unit.
DANGER! Risk of injury! When perform-
ing work on the thread spool, always
