WORKING TECHNIQUES
English – 29
• 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.
