7.4.1 Cutting equipment
•
Use the blades and grass knives to cut thick grass.

Use the trimmer head to cut grass.
•
An incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade
increases the risk of accidents. Keep the teeth of the

7.4.2 Trimmer head
WARNING: Always make sure the trimmer line
is wound tightly and evenly around the drum to
prevent harmful vibration.
•
Only use recommended trimmer heads and trimmer
lines.

Smaller machines requires small trimmer heads and
vice versa.
•
The length of the trimmer line is important. A longer
trimmer line requires greater engine power than a
shorter trimmer line of the same diameter.

Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact. This cuts the trimmer line to the correct
length.
•
Soak the trimmer line in water for a couple of days
before use to increase the life length.
7.4.3 Grass blades and grass cutters
•
Use the product with an approved grass blade. Do
not use a grass blade without proper installation of
all required parts. Make sure that the installation is
done correctly and that the proper parts are used.
Inproper installation may cause the blade to fly off
and seriously injure the operator or the bystanders.
•
Wear protective gloves when you handle or do
maintenance on the blade.
•
Use head protection when you operate a product
with a grass blade.
•
Grass blades and grass cutters are used to cut
rough grass.
•
A grass blade can cause injury while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or the throttle trigger
is released. Make sure that the grass blade has
completely stopped rotating before any
maintenance.
•
Stop the engine before you do work on the cutting
attachment. Make sure the cutting attachment fully
stops. Disconnect the lead from the spark plug.
•
Only use an approved cutting attachment or a
correctly sharpened blade.
•
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened.

Attach the transport guard to the grass blade when
you transport or store the product.
7.4.4 Blade thrust
•
A blade thrust is a sudden movement of the product
to the side, forward or rearward. A blade thrust
occurs when the grass blade or saw blade hits an
object that cannot be cut. In areas where it is not
easy to see the material being cut the risk of blade
thrust increases.
