  6. Insert the new line spool (16) into the cutting head.
  7. Return the line spool hood (17). Ensure that the line spool hood release buttons (18) are accurately inserted in the corresponding recesses of the cutting head with line spool (11). They lock in audibly.
  8. Adjust the lines manually. (See "Lengthening the cutting lines").
  9. Connect the machine to mains socket and switch on to check the auto feeding function

Storage

- Carefully clean the trimmer and its accessories after each use (see "Cleaning and maintenance"), thereby avoiding mould formation.

- Store the trimmer in a dry place well out of reach of children.

- Do not expose the trimmer for extended periods to direct sunlight. This could damage the appliance.

- Do not wrap plastic sacks around the trimmer as this could result in the formation of moisture and mould.

- Do not stand the trimmer on its protection cover (10). Suspend it by its upper handle (1) in such a manner that the protection cover (10) does not come into contact with other objects. This is because the protection cover (10) could become deformed, thereby changing its dimensions and its safety properties.

Disposal and protection of the environment

Dispose of the trimmer, its accessories and the packaging in an environment-friendly manner.

Guarantee

Dear Customer,

This equipment is provided with a 3-year guarantee from the date of purchase. In case of defects, you have statutory rights against the seller of the product. These statutory rights are not restricted by our guarantee presented below.

Terms of Guarantee

The term of the guarantee begins on the date of purchase. Please retain the original receipt. This document is required as proof of purchase.

If a material or manufacturing defect occurs within three years of the date of purchase of this product, we will repair or replace – at our choice – the product for you free of charge. This guarantee requires the defective equipment and proof of purchase to be presented within the three-year period with a brief written description of what constitutes the defect and when it occurred.

If the defect is covered by our guarantee, you will receive either the repaired product or a new product. No new guarantee period begins on repair or replacement of the product.

Guarantee Period and Statutory Claims for Defects

The guarantee period is not extended by the guarantee service. This also applies for replaced or repaired parts. Any damages and defects already present at the time of purchase must be reported immediately after unpacking. Repairs arising after expiry of the guarantee period are chargeable.

Guarantee Cover

The equipment has been carefully produced in accordance with strict quality guidelines and conscientiously checked prior to delivery.

The guarantee applies for all material and manufacturing defects. This guarantee does not extend to cover product parts that are subject to normal wear and may therefore be considered as wearing parts (e.g. line spool, cutting lines and line cutter) or to cover damage to breakable parts (e.g. switches, batteries).

This guarantee shall be invalid if the product has been damaged, used incorrectly or not maintained. Precise adherence to all of the instructions specified in the operating manual is required for proper use of the product. Intended uses and actions against which the operating manual advises or warns must be categorically avoided.

The product is designed only for private and not commercial use. The guarantee will be invalidated in case of misuse or improper handling, use of force, or interventions not undertaken by our authorised service branch.
