General operating instructions
▪
During engine starting and its operation keep the cutting components away from all body
parts, especially from hands and legs.
▪
Regularly remove any dirt from the protective cover, the cutting attachment, and the
cutting device. The engine must be off during that activity.
9.8
Work with the spring spindle
Attention! Use only original cutting components. Use of metal wire instead
of plastic string is forbidden.
Always hold the cutting attachment close to the ground and slowly swing the unit. Do not hold
the cutting attachment under any angle and do not lift it above the ground.
▪
Cut long grass through layers from its top downwards.
▪
During cutting around trees, fence posts or other obstacles slowly proceed with the unit
around objects and cut grass with the string tips.
▪
Avoid contact with solid items (stones, walls, wooden fencing etc.). The string may wear
out very rapidly.
9.8.1
Cutting string extension
Your unit is equipped with an automatic tapping dual string mechanism, i.e. both strings will
become extended when you tap the ground with the cutting attachment. If the strings are
initially longer than the given cutting diameter, the line cutting blade will automatically adjust
their length. Attention! Regularly remove dirt from the line cutting blade. Otherwise, its cutting
effect will be limited.
In case of a decreasing cutting performance:
Start the engine and hold the unit above grass. Hit the ground with the cutting attachment. The
string will extend itself automatically.
▪
In case it becomes impossible to extend the string:
Turn the unit off
Properly insert the spindle and strongly pull the string end.
▪
In case you do not see the string tips:
Change the string spindle.
9.9
Work with the metal cutting blade
Attention! During your work always wear the belt and suitable work clothes. Make sure the
cutting blade is properly mounted. Damaged and blunted unit components must be replaced.
There is a risk of injury.
▪
Use the cutting blade on free and flat surfaces. Carefully check all the areas to be treated
and remove all the foreign objects. Avoid any contact with stones, metal or other
obstacles. The metal cutting disk could become damaged and there is also a risk of
kicking.
▪
During your work, hold the cutting attachment close above the ground and move the unit
like a regular scythe from side to side.
▪
Do not hold the cutting attachment under any angle and do not lift it above the ground.
▪
Do not use the unit for the cutting of shrubs, brushwood or underwood.
