GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Check the cutting attachment for damage
or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment
should always be replaced.
WARNING: Use of an incorrect
or damaged blade could result in
serious injury or death. Always
discard a blade that is bent,
twisted, cracked, broken or
damaged in any other way . Never
attempt to straighten a twisted
blade so that it can be reused. Only
use original blades of the specified
type.
Trimmer head
S Only use the recommended cutting at-
tachments. See the section on “Technical
data”.
IMPORT ANT!
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound
tightly and evenly around the drum, other-
wise the machine will generate harmful
vibration.
S Smaller machines generally require small
trimmer heads and vice versa. This is be-
cause when clearing using trimmer line
the engine must throw out the trimmer
line radially from the trimmer head and
overcome the resistance of the grass
being cleared.
S The length of the trimmer 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 trimmer
guard is intact. This is used to cut the
trimmer line to the correct length.
S To increase the life of the trimmer line it
can be soaked in water for a couple of
days. This will make the line tougher so
that it lasts longer.
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the
guards we recommend! See the section on
Technical data.
