• If the cutting cord becomes too short due to normal
wear, simply switch off the trimmer. The cord will
then automati-cally adjust to the correct length.
• Whenever the trimmer is switched off and then on

the trimmer is fre-quently switched on and off for no
reason, this will increase wear of the cord.
