Do not use your power scythe during
other people's rest periods.
The power scythe is used at ground
level. As its blades operate like a mower
bar, the unit is ideal for cutting scrub,
thicket, reed, wild growth and hard
grasses. The power scythe is
particularly suitable for applications in
busy areas, such as traffic islands or
parks, because cuttings are not caught
and thrown by the blades.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted.

Working Technique
Working position and method are the
same as for a brushcutter: Sweep the
cutter bar to and fro in an arc just above
the ground.
