Mowing
N Hold your trimmer with both hands – 
right hand on the control handle (1) 
– left hand on the assist handle (2).
N Stand upright – hold the trimmer in a 
relaxed position and always on right 
side of your body.
N Make sure the cutting attachment is 
not touching the ground or any other 
objects.
N Swing the machine to and fro, 
keeping the mowing head inclined 
forwards at an angle of about 20° – 
30°.
N The cutting height is determined by 
the distance of the mowing line from 
the lawn surface.
N Mow with the left-hand side 
wherever possible; cuttings and 
stones are thrown away from the 
operator in this position.
N Avoid contact with fences, walls, 
rocks, etc. since it will result in a 
higher rate of wear.
Mowing under Obstacles
The angle of the shaft and mowing head 
can be adjusted for easier mowing under 
hedges and bushes, see “Adjusting 
Angle of Shaft”.
Working with the Bumper (FSE 41 only)
The bumper (1)
– Limits the cutting range of the 
mowing line.
– Reduces the risk of the rotating 
mowing line causing damage (e.g. 
tree bark).
– Maintains the correct ground 
clearance when edging.
