Working techniques.
6.12.1.
During use it is advisable to stop the motor periodically and remove the weeds wound
round the machine, so as to prevent overheating due to the grass caught under the guard.
6.12.2.
Remove the caught-up grass with a screwdriver.
6.12.3.
Cutting in motion (Scything) (Fig. 7).
6.12.3.1.
Proceed at a regular pace, with a circular motion similar to a traditional scythe,
keeping the cutting device parallel to the ground.
6.12.3.2.
First try cutting at the right height in a small area, so as to then achieve a uniform
cutting height keeping the cutting line head at a constant distance from the ground. For
heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the cutting line head by about 30°.
Do not work in this way if there is the possibility of causing objects to be thrown,
which could harm people and animals and cause damage.
Use ONLY nylon lines. The use of metal lines, plasticised metal lines and/or lines
not suitable for the head can cause serious injuries and wounds.
Do not use the machine for sweeping, tilting the cutting line head. The power of
the motor could throw objects and small stones 15 metres or more, causing
damage and injuries to people.
Adjustments must be made after removing the battery from its compartment.
All adjustments must be made so that the operator is ALWAYS situated behind the
cutting device.
