SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grass clearing
using the trimmer
head
• 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.
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 cord‘s
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.
