SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Basic clearing techniques

•Always carry out clearing and trimming at full throttle.

•Always drop to idling speed after each working operation. Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious engine damage.

Designations

•Brush cutting is a general term for clearing grass. Grass blades are used for this purpose.

•Grass trimming is a general term for light clearing, e.g. around

edges or around trees. A trimmer head or plastic blade is used.

!WARNING!

Sometimes grass can collect in the spray guard and cutting head. Always stop the engine when cleaning.

Brush cutting using a grass blade

•A blade is used for all types of high or thick

grass.

• The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right-to- left is the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the return stroke. Let the blade work on the left-hand side (between 8 and 12 o’clock).

•If the blade is angled to the left when clearing the grass will collect in a line, which makes collection easier, e.g. when raking.

•Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again.

•Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.

•Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions:

a)Always work at full throttle.

b)Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke.

•Stop the engine, loosen the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.

!WARNING!

Neither the user of the tool or anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or with the blade rotating as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and blade before you remove material that has wound around the blade as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear unit can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. There is a risk of slight burns if you touch it.

!WARNING!

Warning for thrown objects. Always wear protective glasses. Never lean over the guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury.

Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.
