upper grip with your other hand.

4. Press the switch in the upper grip and hold it

pressed. The appliance runs.

5. Let the lawn trimmer run at idling speed for a

few moments. This causes the cutting line to

be cut off to the correct length.

6. The appliance switches off when the switch is

released.

ADVICE

After  the  appliance  has  been  switched

off, the spool head continues to rotate for

a few seconds.

OPERATION

Switch on the appliance before approaching

the grass to be cut.
Angle  the  appliance  forwards  slightly,  and

walk forwards slowly (9).
Sweep  the  appliance  to  the  right  and  left  in

order to cut the grass (9).

Long grass must be cut in several passes. Always

proceed from top (10-1, 10-2) to bottom.

ADVICE

Tap the spool head on the ground from

time to time when working. The automa-

tic  tip  function  always  keeps  the  line  at

optimum length.

Use the plant protection car in order to hold

the  appliance  at  the  correct  distance  from

obstacles (11-1).

Do not overload the appliance during work.

Make  sure  the  motor  is  stopped  before  you

remove any cuttings.

CAUTION!

The  vibration  value  during  use  of  the

electrical implement may differ from the

indicated  value,  depending  on  what  the

appliance is used for.

If  the  battery  lawn  trimmer  is  overloaded  in

very long grass, the line will be blocked. Im-

mediately remove the appliance from the long

grass  and  reduce  the  load.  Otherwise,  the

motor could be permanently damaged.

After use, remove the battery and check the app-

liance for damage.
