Working instructions for Brush Cutting and Line Trimming
8.3.1 Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so that the underside of the line spool
is above the ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away from yourself.
Never draw the trimmer towards yourself.
8.3.2 Cutting along fences/foundations
Approach wire mesh fences, timber fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so that you
can cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes
stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire fencing, it will break.
8.3.3 Trimming around trees
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line does not strike the bark.
Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the
line and tilt the line spool forwards slightly.
Warning! Take extreme care during mowing work. When doing such work keep a distance of
30 meters between yourself and other people or animals.
8.3.4 Mowing
When mowing, you want to cut all the vegetation down to the ground. To do this, set the line
spool at an angle of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required position. Remember the
increased risk of injury to the user, watchers and animals, and the danger of damaging prop-
erty due to objects (for example stones) being thrown.
m WARNING! Do not use the equipment to remove objects from footpaths, etc. The equip-
ment is a powerful tool and can throw small stones and other objects a distance of 15 meters
or more, causing injuries and damage to cars, houses and windows.
8.4 Jamming
If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the
engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment before you restart it. (Fig. 27)
8.5 Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects such as tree
trunks, branches, tree stumps, stones or the like. This will throw the equipment backwards
in the direction opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause you to lose control of the
equipment. Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations.
