11.4.1 Basic working techniques
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
Sometimes branches or grass get caught
between the guard and cutting attachment.
Always stop the engine before cleaning.
Machines fitted with grass blades can be
thrown violently to the side when the blade
comes into contact with a fixed object. This is
called blade thrust. A blade thrust can be violent
enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be
propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control
of the machine. Blade thrust can occur without
warning if the machine snags, stalls or binds. Blade
thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is
difficult to see the material being cut.
Avoid cutting with the area of the blade between
the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions. Because
of the speed of rotation of the blade, blade
thrust can occur if you attempt to cut thick stems with
this area of the blade.
11.4.2 Grass clearing using a grass blade
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the
clearing stroke and the movement from left-to- right is the
return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between
8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the
grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect,
e.g. by raking.
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.
Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly
again.
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is
used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by
following these instructions:
- Always work at full throttle.
- Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine
on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.
11.4.3 Grass trimming with a trimmer head
11.4.3.1 Trimming (Fig. 29)
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle.
It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord
work at its own pace. Never press the cord into the area
to be cut.
The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up against
walls, fences, trees and borders, however it can also
damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes, and damage
fence posts.
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the cord
to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
11.4.3.2 Clearing (Fig. 30)
The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation.
Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it.
Let the end of the cord strike the ground around trees,
posts, statues and the like.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear
on the cord.
The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more
often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal
fences, etc., than when coming into contact with trees and
wooden fences.
When trimming and clearing you should use less than
full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the
wear on the trimmer head.
11.4.3.3 Cutting (Fig. 31)
The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel
to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer
head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and
damage the tool.
Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into
contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant
contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the
trimmer head.
11.4.3.4 Sweeping (Fig. 32)
The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick
and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above
the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.
When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to
obtain the best results.
11.4.4 Trimming branch or leaves with Long-reach
hedge trimmer
- Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards
when trimming sides. (Fig. 33)
- Always work at full throttle. (Fig. 34)
- When trimming a hedge the engine should always face
away from the hedge. (Fig. 34)
- Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance. (Fig. 34)
- Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground. (Fig.
34)
- Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly. (Fig. 34)
11.5 Routine maintenance
11.5.1 Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and
dirt in order to avoid:
- Carburetor malfunctions
- Starting problems
- Loss of engine power
- Unnecessary wear to engine parts
- Excessive fuel consumption
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
