With a smarty modifier:

Tnx but i don't get it. I'm not a developer so i don't understand where i have to put this smarty modifier.

Look for:

  {eval var=$entry->summary}

in the summary template and change it to:

  {eval var=$entry->summary|truncate:30}

You can change the 30 to the amount of characters you want to have.

Look at the link he provided, because there are more options available to configure truncate's behavior.
