Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect
cutting attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see
instructions under the heading Filing the blade) increases
the level of vibration.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine′s handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached.
8.4 Quick release
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted near the
suspension ring as a safety precaution in case the engine
catches fire, or in any other situation that requires you to
free yourself from the machine.
8.5 Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
The inside of the muffler contain chemicals
that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with
these elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and may contain sparks which
can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors
or near combustible material!
9 CUTTING EQUIPMENT (CUTTING
ATTACHMENT & GRASS TRIMMER)
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
- Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
- Obtain maximum cutting performance.
- Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT: Only use cutting attachments with the
guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical
data. Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment
to check the correct way to load the cord and the correct
cord diameter.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the
blade packaging.
Always stop the engine before doing any work
on the cutting attachment. This continues to
rotate even after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped
completely and disconnect the HT lead from the spark
plug before you start to work on it. Using an incorrect
cutting attachment or an incorrectly sharpened blade
increases the risk of blade thrust.
9.1 Cutting attachment
Grass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting
coarse grass. (Fig. 8)
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass. (Fig. 9)
General rules
- Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
- Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended file gauge.
An incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases
the risk of accidents.
- Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks.
A damaged cutting attachment should always be
replaced.
9.2 Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades
- Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat file.
- Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of
the blade.
Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted,
cracked, broken or damaged in any other way.
Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so
that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the
specified type.
9.3 Trimmer head
IMPORTANT Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound ti-
ghtly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine
will generate harmful vibration.
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer
cords. These have been tested by the manufacturer to
suit a particular engine size. This is especially important
when a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use
the recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on
Technical data.
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads
and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a
cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the
trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass
being cleared.
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord re-
quires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the
same diameter.
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact.
This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water
for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that
it lasts longer.
10 CUTTING EQUIPMENT (LONG REACH
HEDGE TRIMMER)
To ensure good cutting results it is important that the
contact pressure between the blades is correct. The
contact pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the
underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go. Then
turn the screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn.
