CUTTING WITH NYLON LINE
Always install blade guard when cutting with nylon line. Always use blade guard with
trimming blade when cutting with nylon line.
In order to avoid the tool overheating it is recommended to remove cut grass from the
brush cutter regularly. Often grass winds around the drive shaft and hinders normal
operation of the tool. Brush cutter can be used for cutting weed and tall grass in hard-to-
reach places, along fences, at walls and around tree trunks. Besides the brush cutter can
be used for cutting by the roots.
Cut the grass from side to side, holding on the same level. Hold cutting block parallel to
ground. To determine the right height it is recommended to make a test cut. To make an
even lawn support the cutting block.
TRIMMING GRASS
Hold the brush cutter in front of you. The lower part of the cutting mechanism must not
touch the ground and the end of the nylon line must stay on desired cutting height.
Cut grass in direction from operator
TRIMMING GRASS ALONG WALLS AND FENCES
When cutting grass along walls and fences move the brush cutter slowly, trying to cut
grass as close to obstacle as possible. Do not touch the obstacle with brush cutter. It may
lead to line breakage.
TRIMMING GRASS AROUND TREES
When cutting grass along walls and fences move the brush cutter slowly. Avoid touch -
ing tree trunk. Move around tree from left to right. Cut grass with the end of the line.
TRIMMING GRASS BY THE ROOTS
Take special care when trimming grass by the roots.
During this operation keep others including children, animals, bystanders and helpers
outside the 15 m hazard zone. When cutting grass by the roots lean the brush cutter to
the left at an angle about 30 degrees. Before operation adjust position of the additional
handle.
ATTENTION!
Do not use metal blade for cutting edges at curbs or cutting by the root. It is safer to use
cutting head with nylon line.
ATTENTION!
Do not trim in areas where there are ends of wire fences. Do not trim in areas with low
visibility.
CUTTING WITH METAL BLADE
The mechanism is equipped with metal blade.
Metal blade is used for trimming bushes and pests with trunks up to 18 mm in diam -
