This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to: Obtain maximum cutting performance.

Extend the life of cutting equipment.

Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the section on “Technical data”.

Refer to the instructions for the cutting attach- ment to check the correct way to load the trimmer line and the correct line diameter.

Trimmer head

SOnly use the recommended cutting at- tachments. See the section on “Technical data”.

SSmaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa. This is be- cause when clearing using trimmer line the engine must throw out the trimmer line radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being cleared.

SThe length of the trimmer line is also im- portant. A longer trimmer line requires greater engine power than a shorter

trimmer line of the same diameter.

SMake sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact. This is used to cut the

trimmer line to the correct length.

STo increase the life of the trimmer line it can be soaked in water for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer.

IMPORTANT!

Always ensure the trimmer line is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, other- wise the machine will generate harmful vibration.

WARNING: Always stop the en- gine 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 lead from the spark plug before you start to work on it.
