.
RBC31SESO: Hold the product with the right hand on the
rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.
RBC31SBO: Hold the product with the right hand on the
trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle.
■
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
■
The product should be held at a comfortable position
with the trigger handle about hip height.
■
Always operate the product at full throttle. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping
from the silencer.
■
Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head,
which may cause damage from overheating.
■
If grass or debris becomes wrapped around the cutting
means, stop the engine. Wear heavy-duty gloves
to prevent injury from the sharp blades and carefully
remove the debris.
■
Do not push into the grass to be cut. Move from side
to side. Move forward a little at the end of each sweep.
■
Keep the product tilted towards the area being cut.
■
Do not use in dangerous environments.
■
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
the string head into the uncut grass.
■
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may
wear string rapidly.
■
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
cladding and fence posts can be easily damaged by
the string.
