This section describes how to choose and
main tain your cuttin g equipm ent in orde r to:
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting eq uipment.
Only use cutting attachments with the guards
we re commend! See the section on
“Technical data”.
Refer to the instructi ons for the cu tting atta ch-
ment to check the correct way to load the
trim mer line and the correct line diameter .
Trimmer hea d
S Only use the re commended cutting at-
tachm ents. See the section o n “Technical
data”.
S Smaller machines generally require sm all
trimmer heads and vice versa. This is be-
cause when clearing using trimmer line
the engine must throw out the t rimmer
line radially from the trimmer head and
overcome the resistance of the grass
being cleared.
S The length of t he trim mer line is also im-
portant. A longer trimmer line requires
greater engine power than a shorter
trimmer line of the same diameter.
S Make sure that the cutter on the trimm er
guard is intact. This is used to cut the
trimmer line to the correct length.
S To increase the life o f t he trimmer line it
can be soaked in water for a couple of
days. This will make the line tougher so
that it lasts longer .
IMPORT ANT!
Alwa ys ensure the trimm er line is wound
tightly and evenly around the d rum, other-
wise the machine will generate harmful
vibration.
W ARNING: Always stop the e n-
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.
