WORKING TECHNIQUES

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.

Cutting

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.

Sweeping

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.

Shredding dense vegetation with a shredder blade

The brush cutter is used to ”shred” vegetation, i.e. by woking it up and down through dense grass and brush.

The shredder blade must not be used on vegetation with a stem diameter larger than 2 cm.
