SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SCAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident.

2.Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.

3.Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible ob- stacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.

4.Switch off the engine before moving to another area.

5.Never put the machine down with the engine running or while the cutting attachment is rotating.

Basic working techniques

SAlways 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.

SIt is recommended that the engine not be operated for longer than 1 minute at full throttle.

WARNING: Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the engine before cleaning.

Grass trimming using a trimmer head

Trimming

SHold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the trim- mer line that does the work. Let the trim- mer line work at its own pace. Never press the trimmer line into the area to be cut.

SThe trimmer line 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.

SReduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the trimmer line to 4--4 1/2 inches

(10--12 cm) and reducing the engine speed.

SWhen trimming you should use less than full throttle so that the trimmer line lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head.

Clearing

SThe clearing technique removes all un- wanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the trimmer line strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the trimmer line.

SThe trimmer line wears quicker and must be fed forward more often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal fences, etc., than when coming into con- tact with trees and wooden fences.

Cutting

SThe trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the trimmer line parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool.

SDo not allow the trimmer head to con-- stantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head.
