WORKING TECHNIQUES
Sweeping
S
The fan effect of the rotating line can be
used for quick and easy clearing up.
Hold the trimmer line parallel to and
above the area to be swept and move
the tool to and fro.
S
When cutting and sweeping you should
use full throttle to obtain the best results.
Cutting
S
The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that
is difficult to reach using a normal lawn
mower. Keep the trimmer line parallel to
the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing
the trimmer head against the ground as
this can ruin the lawn and damage the
tool.
S
Do not allow the trimmer head to con--
stantly come into contact with the ground
during normal cutting. Constant contact
of this type can cause damage and wear
to the trimmer head.
WARNING:
Watch out for thrown
objects. Always wear eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attach-
ment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc.
can be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorized persons at a dis-
tance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside
the safety zone of 15 m.
Stop the machine immediately if
anyone approaches.
WARNING:
Sometimes
branches or grass get caught
between the guard and cutting
attachment or wrapped around the
shaft. Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may at-
tempt to remove the cut material
while the engine is running or the
cutting equipment is rotating,
as this can result in serious injury.
Stop the engine and cutting equip-
ment before you remove material.
The bevel gear can get hot during
use and may remain so for a while
afterwards. You could get burned if
you touch it.
