• Move in a regular pattern across the work area.
• Move the product fully to the left and right, to clear a
width of 4–5 m on each turn.
• Clear a length of 75 m before you turn and go back.
Move the fuel can along with you as you continue.
• Move in a direction where you do not go across
ditches and obstacles more than necessary.
• Move in a direction where the wind makes the 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.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
To trim the grass
1. Hold the trimmer head immediately above the
ground at an angle. Do not push the trimmer line
into the grass.
2. Decrease the length of the trimmer line by 10-12
cm / 4-4.75 in.
3. Decrease the engine speed to decrease the risk of
damage to plants.
4. Use 80 % throttle when you cut grass near objects.
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.
