9.2.2. Achieving quality results by avoiding damage
So as to avoid damaging the machine and to guarantee a quality result in your efforts, it is ad-
vised to operate the machine only on amicable terrain.
• Check the pre-plotted reference path for any surface objects or above-ground obstacles that
could hinder the styler or prevent the operator from working smoothly. Clear as many of these
obstacles away from the work zone as possible.
• Also, inspect the entire path to ensure that there are no underground obstacles or foreign
objects that appear in the cutting zone of the blade. This includes all material that is not veg-
etation, is broader than a span of 3 cm, or has a hardness that is not penetrable at a point load
of 5 kg (such as stones, bits of metal, metal wire, glass, plastic, tree roots, foundation, etc.).
• Remove as many of these obstacles from the cutting zone as possible. If such a foreign object
is impossible to remove, then flag the spot for future warning, so as to prevent damage to the
machine during operation.
• Sufficient checking must occur to verify whether any under- or above-ground electricity cables
or irrigation networks cross the styling path.
• It is prohibited to operate the styler on frozen or dried-out land
• It is advisable to style your gardens or lawn edges after a period of rain, after which point
the soil will be soft and moist. It should be quick and effortless to shape and style lawn edges
under such conditions.
• Styling lawn edges on ground composed of loose sand is not advised for achieving a quality
result.
9.3 Starting and stopping the engine
9.3.1 Starting the engine
Caution :
Loudness of the running motor is the predominate source of noise generated by
the machine. For this reason, it is suggested that some form of hearing protec-
tion be used before starting the motor.
Warning :
As soon as the motor begins running, parts of the machine could begin moving.
Therefore, it is critical that the operator keep bystanders at a distance and that
he focus his undivided attention on the proper operation of the machine.
