Using your brushcutter
ENGLISH 12
8. Using your brushcutter
8.1 Scope of Application
Only use brushcutters equipped with a nylon head
for cutting grass – particularly suitable around
obstacles - and for trimming light weeds and wild
growth near ground level. The nylon head is
particularly suitable for a soft cut, e.g. for clean
trimming around trees and posts.
8.2 Correct brushcutter operation
Observe the relevant safety instructions when using
the brushcutter.
Carry the power tool on your r.h. side.
Approach the working area with the brushcutter set
to idle, and then switch to full throttle. Never leave
the engine running at high speed without applying
a load.
Dip the cutter 2/3 into the growth and use the
equipment like a scythe by stepping forward in
small steps and cutting from side to side.
Immediately switch OFF the motor, if you notice any
unusual vibrations or cuttings have wrapped
themselves around the cutting tool or have jammed
near the guard. Reduce the cutting tool speed by
pushing the cutter down onto the ground, until it
has come to a complete standstill. Pull the mains
plug from its socket and clear the cutting tool of
grass, brush etc. Check the entire power tool for
perfect condition.
When using the line head, only work with an
approved line length. If the contact protection
shield is properly fitted, cutting lines will always be
trimmed to the permissible length (trimming blade
integrated into the contact protection shield).
There is a high risk of injury, and the motor is
subjected to excessive loads leading to a risk of
damage, if nylon lines are left too long.
8.3 Adjusting the cutting line
When using a semi-automatic nylon head:
(schematic diagram)
Several times, tip down the equipment with
rotating nylon head onto covered ground. This
dispenses nylon line in steps. Per release, approx. 30
mm line length will be dispensed. Excess line
lengths will be trimmed to size by the line trimming
blade.
When the cutting line is fully spent, you can replace
it with line available under part no. 6900201
(accessory).
