WORKING TECHNIQUES

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.

Sweeping

SThe fan effect of the rotating line can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the trimmer line parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.

SWhen cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results.

WARNING: Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or the trimmer line is rotating, as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and trimmer head before you remove material that has wound around the drive shaft as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. You could get burned if you touch it.

WARNING: Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the cutting attach- ment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorized persons at a dis- tance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m.

Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.
