SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Trimming
The trimmer is ideal to
cut 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
procedures. Constant
contact can cause damage
and wear to the trimmer
head.
Sweeping
The rotating cords
fanning effect can be
used for quick and easy
cleaning. Hold the cord
parallel to and above the
area to be swept and
move the trimmer from
side to side.
When cutting and
sweeping you should use
full throttle to obtain the
best results.
!
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 (50 feet). Stop the machine
immediately if anyone approaches.
Grass trimming
using the trimmer
head and plastic
knifes
Hold the trimmer head
just above the ground at
an angle. It is the end of
the cord that carries out
the work. Let the cord
work at its own pace. Do
not press the cord into
the area to be cut.
The cord can easily
remove grass and weeds
up against walls, fences,
trees and borders,
however, it can also
damage sensitive bark on
trees and bushes and
damage fence posts.
Reduce the risk of
damaging plants by
shortening the cord to
10-12 cm and reducing
the engine speed.
Clearing
The clearing technique
removes all unwanted
vegetation. Keep the
trimmer head just above
the ground and tilt it. Let
the end of the cord strike
the ground around trees,
posts, statues and the
like. NOTE! This
technique increases the
wear on the cord.
The cord wears quicker
and must be fed forward
more often when
working against stones,
brick, concrete, metal
fences, etc. than when
coming into contact with
trees and wooden fences.
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.
!
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.
