Cutting along Fences/Foundations/Trees
When cutting approach wire mesh fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so that you can
cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones,
stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray.
If the line strikes wire fencing it will break. When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so
that the line does not strike the bark. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line
spool forwards slightly.
Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the
engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the trimmer before you restart it.
Preventing Recoil
When you work with the blade there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid
objects such as tree trunks, branches, tree stumps, stones or the like.
This will throw the trimmer backwards in the direction opposite to the
rotation of the tool. This can cause you to lose control of the trimmer.
Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or
foundations. For cutting dense stalks, position it as shown to prevent
recoil.
WARNING!
DO NOT REMOVE ANY OBJECTS FROM FOOTPATHS, ETC.
USING THE TRIMMER. THE TRIMMER IS A POWERFUL TOOL AND CAN
THROW SMALL STONES AND OTHER OBJECTS A DISTANCE OF 15
METERS OR MORE, CAUSING INJURIES AND DAMAGE TO CARS, HOUSES AND
WINDOWS.
