WORKING TECHNIQUES

Sweeping

The fan effect of the rotating line can be

used for quick and easy clearing up.

Hold the trimmer line 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.

Cutting

The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that

is difficult to reach using a normal lawn

mower. Keep the trimmer line 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 con--

stantly come into contact with the ground

during normal cutting. Constant contact

of this type can cause damage and wear

to the trimmer head.

WARNING:

Neither the operator

of the machine nor anyone else may

attempt to remove the cut material

while the engine is running or the

trimmer line is rotating, as this can

result in serious injury. Stop the

engine and trimmer head before you

remove material that has wound

around the drive shaft as otherwise

there is a risk of injury. The bevel

gear can get hot during use and may

remain so for a while afterwards. You

could get burned if you touch it.

WARNING:

Watch out for thrown

objects. Always wear eye protection.

Never lean over the cutting attach-

ment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc.

can be thrown up into the eyes

causing blindness or serious injury.

Keep unauthorized persons at a dis-

tance. Children, animals, onlookers

and helpers should be kept outside

the safety zone of 15 m.

Stop the machine immediately if

anyone approaches.
