To operate the grass trimmer
CAUTION: Make sure that you slow the
engine to idle speed after each operation. A
long period at full throttle without a load on
the engine can cause damage to the engine.
Note: Clean the cover of the trimmer head when you
attach a new trimmer line to prevent vibrations. Examine
12
other parts of the trimmer head and clean if it is
necessary.
To trim the grass
1. Hold the trimmer head immediately above the
ground at an angle (Picture 35) . Do not push the
grass trimmer line into the grass.
2. Decrease the length of the grass trimmer line by
10-12 cm (4-4.75 in) and decrease engine speed to
decrease the risk of damage to plants.
3. Use 80 % throttle when you cut grass near objects
(Picture 36).
To cut the grass
1. Make sure that the grass trimmer line is parallel to
the ground when you cut (Picture 37).
2. Do not push the trimmer head to the ground. The
ground and the product can be damaged.
3. Do not let the trimmer head touch the ground
continuously, it can cause damage to the trimmer
head.
4. Use full throttle when you move the product from
side to side (Picture 38) to cut grass. Make sure that
the grass trimmer line is parallel to 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.
6. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
7. Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the
blade by always work at full throttle and avoid the
previously cut material during the return stoke.
8. Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the
cut material.
