Only cut with the left (shown here as light grey) area of the cutting unit when the unit is being moved from right to left.
In the right (dark grey) area, the threads rotate in your direction. This represents a high level of kickback risk and objects may be
thrown in your direction by the rotation of the thread. You may be hurt as a result.
When the unit is moved from left to right, ensure that the thread is kept away from the grass to ensure that the grass is not thrown
up.
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 necessary 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 thread is
lengthened far enough to be 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
!
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
When performing work on the thread spool, always unplug from the power source!
If the threads are too short then they can not 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 protective hood.
The threads will be cut to the correct length by the blade next time the unit is used.
