OPERATION
■ Cut repeatedly from top to bottom in layers
when the grass is very high. ( Figs. 26-27)
■ Keep the spool head at an angle of about
30° to the ground when trimming. Avoid
pressing it against the ground as this can ruin
the lawn and damage the product. (Fig. 28)
NOTE:
Let the cutting device do the work. Let
it work at its own pace, never force it into the
area to be cut.
■ Carefully maneuver the product around
objects, such as trees and bushes, ensuring
it does not come into contact with them. Use
the Flower Guard to ensure that the cutting
line does not come into contact with sensitive
plants. (Fig. 29)
■ Adjust the spool head angle when trimming
on edges.
■ Use the Flower Guard to avoid bringing
the cutting line into contact with hard objects
such as walls and curbs. (Fig. 30)
TRIMMING
See Figure 26-30, page vii-viii
■ Do not cut wet grass because it tends to
stick to the cutting head and guard, prevents
proper discharge of grass clippings, and
could cause you to slip and fall.
■ Wait until the product has come to a
standstill before placing it down.
■ Regularly remove clippings and dirt around
the spool head with a switched off product.
■ Pay attention when performing work close
to trees and bushes. The cutting line can
damage sensitive bark, and damage fence
posts.
■ Work rhythmically. Stand firmly with
your feet apart. Cut from right to left so the
trimmings will be thrown away from the work
area.
■ Do not move the product too fast as this
will result in ineffective cutting and possible
damage.
