WORKING TECHNIQUES
24 – English
Grass clearing using a grass blade
•
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
•
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
•
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is
the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-
right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the
blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
•
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.
•
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet
apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand
firmly again.
•
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
•
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade
by following these instructions:
1Always work at full throttle.
2Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
•
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the
cut material.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming
•
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let
the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord
into the area to be cut.
•
The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up
against walls, fences, trees and borders, however it
can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,
and damage fence posts.
•
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
Clearing
•
The clearing technique removes all unwanted
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the
cord.
•
The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more
often when working against stones, brick, concrete,
metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with
trees and wooden fences.
•
When trimming and clearing you should use less than
full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce
the wear on the trimmer head.
Cutting
•
The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord
parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the
trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the
lawn and damage the tool.
•
Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into
contact with the ground during normal cutting.
Constant contact of this type can cause damage and
wear to the trimmer head.
Sweeping
•
The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for
quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to
and above the area to be swept and move the tool to
and fro.
•
When cutting and sweeping you should use full
throttle to obtain the best results.
