USING THE GRASS TRIMMER
CUTTING LINE HEAD
•
Cut the grass in 1.5 metre widths, keeping the machine well balanced.
•
Avoid engaging stones, piles of earth, small pieces of wood or anything that could be hidden or difficult
to see in the grass. If a large object is accidentally struck, if the cutting head gets blocked, overloaded
or stringy material gets wrapped in the cutting head: reduce the engine speed so the engine idles.
Make sure that the cutting head has stopped rotating switch off the engine and remove the material.
•
Put the grass trimmer on the ground and check that the cutting head has not been damaged. If
necessary, change the cutting head. If the head is only wrapped by vegetation, remove by hand and
clean the cutting head.
•
Always wear gloves for this operation and ensure the engine is switched off and the head is stationary.
•
This machine is fitted with a “Tap to Go” head. To release more line, tap the ‘bump knob’ against the
ground with the engine at top speed: the line will be released automatically and the knife fitted to the
guard will cut off any excess line.
BAD QUALITY OF CUT
•
Area too overgrown or thick for the available engine power or thickness of the line; take smaller
quantities with each pass of the cutting head.
SAFETY WHEN USING THE GRASS TRIMMER
•
When using the grass trimmer, grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet
slightly apart so your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always maintain
a steady even posture while working.
•
Maintain full engine speed when cutting.
•
Never allow other persons to come within the work area as doing so might expose them
to danger.
•
Keep work area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Injury may
result from flying debris.
•
If grass or other objects get caught in the grass trimmer during operation, always stop
the engine before removing the object.
