the cutting attachment sufficiently and you must
replace it.
• Examine the blade guard for damages or cracks.
Replace the blade guard if it has been hit or if it has
cracks.
• Examine the trimmer head and cutting attachment
guard for damages or cracks. Replace the trimmer
head and cutting attachment guard if they have been
hit or if they have cracks.
Blade thrust
WARNING: A blade thrust is when the
product moves to the side quickly and with
force. A blade thrust occurs when the grass
blade hits or catches on an object that
cannot be cut. A blade thrust can eject the
product or operator in all directions. There is
a risk of injury to the operator and
bystanders. The risk increases in areas
where it is not easy to see the material that
should be cut. Do not cut with the area of
the blade that is shown in grey in the
illustration. The speed and movement of the
blade can cause blade thrust. The risk
increases with the thickness of the stem that
is cut.

Grass clearing with a grass blade
CAUTION: Do not use grass blades and
grass knives on wood. Use grass blades
and grass knives for long or heavy grass
only.
• Move the product from side to side.
• Start the movement from right to left when you cut.
Move the product to the right before you cut again.
• Cut with the left side of the grass blade.
• Tilt the grass blade to the left to make the grass fall
in a line. This makes it easy to collect the grass.
• Keep a stable position with your feet apart.
• Move forward after each right movement and make
sure that you have a stable position again before you
cut again.
• Keep the support cup with a light pressure against
the ground to make sure that the grass blade does
not hit the ground.
• Obey these instructions to decrease the risk that cut
material winds around the grass blade:
a) Apply full throttle.
b) Do not move the grass blade through cut
material when you move the product from left to
right.
• Before you collect the cut material, stop the engine
and remove the product from the harness. Put the
product down on the ground.
To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
2. A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
3. The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is
the clearing stoke and the movement from left-to-
right is the return stoke. Let the left-hand side of the
blade (between 8 and 12 o'clock) do the cutting.
4. If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass,
the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier
to collect, e.g. by raking.
5. Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet
apart. Move forward after the return stoke and stand
firmly again.
