Frequently Asked Questions - 36VBC233.1 STERWINS

What type of battery does the STERWINS 36VBC233.1 grass trimmer use?
The 36VBC233.1 operates with a 36V lithium-ion battery from the STERWINS range. This battery is compatible with other tools from the 36V STERWINS range sold at Leroy Merlin, allowing batteries to be shared among multiple tools within the same ecosystem.
How do you replace the cutting line?
Turn off the power and remove the battery before any intervention. Press the latches on the cutting head to open the cover, remove the empty spool, and wind new nylon line in the direction indicated by the arrow on the spool. Reinsert the spool and close the cover until it clicks.
The cutting line often breaks, how can this be fixed?
A line that frequently breaks generally indicates a line that is too thin, vegetation that is too dense, or a cutting angle that is too sharp. Use the recommended line diameter in the manual, work in regular right-to-left motions, and avoid hitting hard obstacles (stones, fences).
The battery drains very quickly, is this normal?
Autonomy decreases in tall and dense grass or in cold weather (below 10°C), which is normal for a lithium-ion battery. If the loss of autonomy is sudden, check that the battery contacts are clean and dry. A very old battery may need replacement, available at Leroy Merlin.
The cutting head does not spin, what should I do?
First, check that the battery is fully charged and properly engaged. Ensure no debris (twig, stone) is blocking the head. If the motor runs but the head remains still, the spool or drive mechanism may be damaged and needs checking by a Leroy Merlin authorized repairer.
Can it switch to edging mode?
Yes, the cutting head can pivot to work vertically and precisely trim lawn edges. Refer to the corresponding chapter in the manual for adjusting the angle and position of the secondary handle.
How to adjust the working height?
The telescopic handle adjusts by unlocking the collar, sliding the tube to the desired length, then relocking. The second handle is also repositionable to adapt the tool to your body shape and reduce fatigue.
What safety precautions should be taken during use?
Always wear protective goggles, safety shoes, and thick pants: stone and debris projections are frequent. Keep people and animals 15 meters away. Never work on wet ground or in the rain with an electric tool.
How to maintain the grass trimmer after each use?
Remove the battery, then clean the cutting head and housing with a dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Never use a high-pressure water jet. Check the condition of the remaining line on the spool and store the tool in a dry place, protected from frost.
Where can I find spare parts (spool, line, cutting head)?
STERWINS spare parts are available in Leroy Merlin stores and on their online site. Websites like Spareka also offer compatible parts delivered within 48 hours. Have the exact reference 36VBC233.1 ready when ordering.

1. Safety regulations

General safety information for power tools

WARNING

Read all the safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data provided on or with this power tool. Failure to adhere to the following instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

Keep all the safety information and instructions in a safe place for future use.

The term „power tool“ used in the safety information and instructions refers to power tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated power tools (without a power cable).

  1. Workplace safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosions and where there are infl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep children and other people away from the power tool while you are using it. If you are distracted you may lose control of the power tool.

  1. Electrical safety
    a) The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug should never be altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
    b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
    c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
    d) Do not use the power cable for a purpose for which it is not designed, for example to carry the power tool, hang it up or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Power cables that are damaged or tangled increase the risk of an electric shock.
    e) If you use an electric power tool outdoors, use only extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
    f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.
  2. Safety of persons
    a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using the electric

GB

tool can result in serious injuries.

b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.

c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.

d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches before you switch on the power tool. Any tool or wrench in a rotating part of the power tool could cause injuries.

e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.

f) Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fi tting clothes or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving parts.

g) If dust extraction devices and dust collection devices can be fitted, they must be connected and must be used correctly. The use of a dust extractor can reduce the dangers posed by dust.

h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety regulations covering electric power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after having used it many times. Carelessness can lead to serious injuries in just a fraction of a second.

  1. Using and handling the power tool

a) Do not overload your power tool. Use the correct electric tool for the job in hand. The correct tool will enable you to work better and more safely within the specific performance range.

b) Do not use an electric power tool if the switch is defective. An electric power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery pack before making

any adjustments to the tool, changing accessories or putting the power tool down. These precautions will prevent the power tool starting accidentally.

d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or who have not read these instructions to use the tool. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.

e) Look after power tools plug-in tools with care. Check that moving parts function correctly and do not jam, and whether any parts are broken or damaged such that they adversely affect the function of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before you use the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electric tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories, plug-in tools, etc. as set out in these instructions. Take account of the conditions in your work area and the job in hand. Using electric tools for purposes other than the one for which they are designed can result in dangerous situations.

h) Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. If the handles and grip surfaces are slippery, it will not be possible to operate and control the power tool safely in unforeseen situations.

  1. Using and handling the cordless tool

a) Only charge the batteries in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is designed for a certain type of battery may pose a fi re risk if it is used with other types of battery.

b) Use only the correct batteries in the electric tools. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and a fi re risk.

c) Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic objects that could cause a short circuit between the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or a fire.

d) In case of incorrect use, fl uid may escape from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you touch it by accident, rinse the aff ected area with water. If you get the fl uid

GB

in your eyes, also seek medical advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.

e) Never use damaged or altered rechargeable batteries. Damaged or altered rechargeable batteries can behave unpredictably and lead to a risk of fire, explosion or injury.

f) Never expose a rechargeable battery to fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130°C pose a risk of explosion.

g) Follow all the instructions on charging and never charge the rechargeable battery or cordless tool outside the specified allowable charging temperature range. Incorrect charging or charging outside the allowable charging temperature range could cause irreparable damage to the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6. Service

a) Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.

b) Never perform maintenance work on damaged rechargeable batteries. All maintenance work on rechargeable batteries should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized after sales service outlets.

Additional safety instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature maximum power density, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.

Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.

Important: Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

  1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The battery pack has to

be charged before you use the tool for the first time.

  1. For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.

  2. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.

  3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.

  4. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire. There is a risk of explosion!

  5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.

  6. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

  7. Protect batteries and the tool from over-loads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing without this overheating actually being apparent externally.

  8. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or which have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suff ered serious damage. In this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.

  9. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equipment for safety reasons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.

  10. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a fire risk.

  11. Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture, rain and high humidity can cause dangerous cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been exposed to moisture,

GB

rain or high humidity – replace them immediately.

  1. If your equipment is fi tted with a detachable battery, remove the battery for safety reasons after you have fi nished your work

Information on chargers and the charging process

  1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.

  2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. If the power cable has to be replaced, this must be done by the manufacturer or one of its agents, to prevent safety risks.

  3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children's reach.

  4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

  5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.

  6. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.

  7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

  8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were charged was more than 12 months previously. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suff ered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

  9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10^ C will cause chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fire.

  10. Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.

  11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered curvature or deformation during the charging process or which show other non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,...)

  12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.

  13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental influences

  1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.

  2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

  3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

  4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and an ambient temperature of 10-40°C.

  5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 40^ C. In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.

  6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, over-charging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been overheated – replace them immediately if possible.

  7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers and cordless tools. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry places with an ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).

  8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs which were stored below 0^ C for more than 60 minutes must be disposed of.

  9. When handling batteries beware of electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges cause damage of the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.

Batteries and cordless electric equipment contain materials that are potentially harmful to the environment. Never place any rechargeable batteries or cordless electric machines or tools in your household refuse.

Grass trimmer and brush cutter safety warnings

a) Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the machine during operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
d) Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
f) Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either damage the blade or result in it becoming detached.
g) The rated rotational speed of the blade must be at least equal to the maximum rotational speed marked on the machine. Blades running faster than their rated rotational speed can break and fly apart.
h) Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
j) While operating the machine, always wear safety footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the

feet from contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
k) While operating the machine, always wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
I) Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
m) Always use two hands when operating the machine. Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
n) Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutting line or blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting line or blades contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine „live“ and could give the operator an electric shock.
o) Always keep proper footing and operate the machine only when standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.
p) Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
q) When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always work across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
s) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade when the machine is operating. Before you start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating the machine may result in injury to yourself or others.
t) Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
u) When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fi bres is released, the brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
v) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

GB

w) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
x) When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine, make sure all power switches are off and the battery is disconnected. Unexpected starting of the machine while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
y) Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away from your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
z) When transporting or storing the machine, always fi t the cover on metal blades. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the blade.
aa) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage and injury.
bb) When removing jammed materials or performing maintenance work on the machine, check to make sure that the switch is turned off and the battery has been removed. Serious injuries could occur if the machine starts running unexpectedly when you are removing jammed materials or performing maintenance work.

Blade thrust causes and related warnings Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or backward motion of the machine, which may occur when the blade jams or catches on an object such as a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the machine.

Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the machine and position your arms to resist blade thrust. Position your body to the left side of the machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury due to the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be controlled by the operator if proper precautions are taken.
b) If the blade binds, or when interrupting

a cut for any reason, switch the machine off and hold the machine motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. While the blade is binding, never attempt to remove the machine from the material or pull the machine backward while the blade is in motion, otherwise blade thrust may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

c) Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
d) Always maintain good visibility of the material being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
e) If you are approached by another person while operating the machine, switch the machine off. There is an increased risk of injury to other persons being struck by the moving blade in the event of blade thrust.

Do not lose these safety instructions.

Important!

Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Always charge the two batteries simultaneously. The machine's operating time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two batteries must always be fully charged before use.

5.8 Charging the battery (Fig. 13)

  1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing the pushlock button.
  2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
  3. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
  4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charging unit
• and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless grass trimmer drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

5.9 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 14)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (Item H). The battery capacity indicator (Item F) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

GB

6. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from one location to another.

Danger! The guard hood must be fitted when carrying out work.

6.1 Switching the tool on and off, adjusting the speed (Fig. 15)

Switching on

Push forward the safety lock-off (Item 3) and press the On/Off switch (Item 2). Once the tool is running, you can release the safety lock-off.

Switching off

Let go of the On/Off switch.

6.2 Practical tips

  1. Switch off the tool, remove the battery and check the tool for wear or damage:

- after the tool strikes a foreign body.

- whenever the tool begins to make unusual vibrations (examine immediately).

The tool is not allowed to be put into operation again until the cause is eliminated. If you fail to find the cause of the vibrations, contact a service center and arrange for essential repairs.

  1. If there is string on the tool, you can use the blade on the string guard hood to shorten the string. Take care not to cut your fingers on the blade.

Practice all the work steps with the motor switched off and without the rechargeable battery before you start to use the equipment. Only use the cutting line to mow grass that is dry. If the grass is long, the grass must be cut shorter in stages (Fig. 16).

Extending the cutting line (Fig. 17)

Danger! Do not use any kind of metal wire or metal wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This may cause serious injuries to the user.

The grass trimmer has a semi-automatic line extension system (automatic jog line feed). Each time you activate the semi-automatic line extension system, the line is automatically extended to ensure that you can cut your lawn with the perfect cutting width at all times. To extend the cutting line, run the motor and tap the line spool on the

ground. This will automatically extend the line. The blade on the guard hood will cut the line to the permissible length. Please note that the more often you activate the semi-automatic line extension system, the more the line will wear.

Note: If the line is too long when you use the equipment for the fi rst time, the surplus end of it will be cut by the blade on the guard hood. If the line is too short when you start the equipment for the fi rst time, press the knob on the line spool and pull the line hard. When you then start the machine for the fi rst time the line will be cut to the perfect length automatically.

Using a brush or similar, carefully remove all residual grass from the underside of the guard hood at regular intervals.

Different cutting methods

When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in places which are difficult to access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations and also around trees. It can also be used for „mowing“ down vegetation so that a garden can be better prepared or a certain area cleared down to the soil.

Please note: Even if it is used carefully, cutting around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will result in the line suffering above normal wear.

Trimming/mowing

Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the ground. Check the site and decide which cutting height you require. Guide and hold the line spool at the required height to obtain an even cut (Fig. 18).

Low trimming

Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so that the underside of the line spool is above the ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer towards yourself.

Cutting along fences/foundations

Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so that you can cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire fencing, it will break.

GB

Trimming around trees

When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool forwards slightly.

Warning: Take extreme care during mowing work. When doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters between yourself and other people or animals.

Mowing

When mowing down to the ground you will cut all the vegetation. To do this, set the line spool at an angle of 30^ to the right. Place the handle in the required position. Remember the increased risk of injury to the user, watchers and animals, and the danger of damaging property due to objects (for example stones) being thrown up (Fig. 19).

Warning: Do not use the equipment to remove objects from footpaths, etc!

The equipment is a powerful tool and can throw small stones and other objects a distance of 15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage to cars, houses and windows.

Sawing

The equipment is not suitable for sawing.

Jamming

If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the motor immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment before you restart it.

Preventing recoil

When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects (tree trunks, branches, tree stumps, stones or the like). This will throw the equipment backwards in the direction opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause you to lose control of the equipment. Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations.

For cutting dense stalks, position the blade as shown in Fig. 20 to prevent recoil.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Before putting away or cleaning the grass trim-mer, switch off and remove the battery pack.

7.1 Cleaning

  • Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
    • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
  • Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
  • Use a brush to remove deposits from the safety guard

7.2 Replacing the string spool

Danger! Remove the batteries!

  1. Fig. 21: Press together the string spool housing at the point marked with "M" and the opposite point, and remove the spool cover.
  2. Remove the empty string spool.
  3. Fig. 22: Thread each of the string ends of the new string spool through each of the two eyelets (P) in the spool cover and let the string project by approx. 22 cm.
  4. Press the spool cover back into the string spool housing.

When you start the equipment again the line will be cut to the perfect length automatically.

Caution! Bits of the nylon line could cause injury when fl ung out!

7.3 Sharpening the guard hood blade

The guard hood blade (Fig. 2/Item 13) can become blunt over time. When you notice this, undo the screw holding the guard hood blade on the guard hood. Clamp the blade in a vise. Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction only.
