Scything weeds
This is cutting by swinging the blade in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds.
Scything should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
Scything can be done in both directions, and just in one way which results in the debris being thrown
away from you.
That is using the side of the blade that it is rotating away from you. Tilt down the blade slightly on this
same side. You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both directions.
c) Using the hedge trimmer
Warning - Never place the cutting head on the ground while the machine is running.
When using the machine on lawns, hold the scythe at an angle of 30 ° and perform semi-circular
movements by sweeping the ground from left to right.
The best results are obtained when the grass is 15 cm high. When the grass is higher, we recommend
repeating the mowing several times.
It is recommended to cut the trapezoidal hedges to prevent the lower branches from being stripped.
This corresponds to the natural growth of plants and hedges can be potentially prosperous. The cut
makes the new annual shoots reduced, so a dense branching and a good protection of the sight must
be considered.
-
First cut the edges of a hedge. Move the hedge trimmer to cut the part that grows greatly from
bottom to top. If you cut from top to bottom, the thinner branches move outward; Narrow places or
holes may form.
-
Cut the top of the hedge, just like a roof or a round shape.
-
Cut the seedlings into the desired shape. The main stem must be intact and remain until the hedge
reaches the proposed elevation. All other shoots should be cut to half.
d) Using the pole pruner
Never use the tool at an angle of more than 60 °. The
correct operation of the pruner is not impaired at angles
greater than 60 °, but the risk of injury increases due to
sudden drops of branches. Pay attention to the floor in front
of you when using the appliance. This allows you to avoid
tripping over branches on the ground. Never use the saw
without oil. Use a biodegradable chain oil. The pruning
machine uses a low rebound chain. In addition, special
attention has been paid to the construction of the device to
prevent the smallest possible rebounds given the technical
conditions given. Nevertheless, a slight rebound can not be
ruled out by using the upper cutting blade. Expect a
rebound when using this side of the blade or when the top of the blade encounters another branch. The
device should always be used with both hands. The thin branches can be cut at once. To prevent a
branch from splitting or bending, it is advisable to slice it end to end. When slitting longer branches, the
branch should be cut from the bottom. First cut the branch from below at a point away from where you
want to saw the branch. The notch must have a depth between one third and one half the thickness of
the branch. This prevents the branch from breaking when you cut it from the top a little further away
from the trunk. To finish, saw the stump by making a straight cut. If you wish, you can seal the cut using
a suitable product.
