b. Stopping the operation
Release the throttle trigger.
Let the tool to rum a few minutes.
Switch off the tool by putting the Start/stop switch on the position O (OFF).
c. Grass trimmer operation
Trimming
Tilt the head slowly to direct debris away from you. If cutting up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree,
approach from an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from you, Move the line head
slowly until the grass is cut right up the barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into the barrier. If trimming up
to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If you go too far the line will snap off
around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a time. Place the trimmer line head
near the bottom of the weed-never high up which could cause the weed to chatter and catch the line. Rather
than cut the weed right through, just use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
Scalping and edging
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep angle Scalping is removing top growth without
damaging the ground.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a sidewalk or drive way. During both edging and
scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a position where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones, will
not come back towards you even if it ricochets off the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to edge
and scalp every operator must find for himself the angles which suits his body size and cutting situation.
d. Brushcutter operation
-
Do not the brushcutter for cutting trees
-
Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged blade.
-
Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes or strands of wire from broken
fences. If an obstruction cannot be removed, mark its location so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and
metal will dull or damage a blade. Wire can catch on the blade head and flap around or be thrown into the air.
-
Use the shoulder harness at all times adjust both harness and harness clamp on the unit so that the unit hangs a
few inches above ground level .The cutting head and the debris shield should be level in all directions. Harness the
unit on the right side of your body.
-
Cut only with the side of the blade that the debris is moving away from you.
-
If kickback occurs, the blade may be dull, or the material so thick and hard that you should use other tool instead of
this machine.
-
Do not force the blade to cut. Do not change the angle of cut after into the wood. Avoid using any pressure or
