Working With The Thread Reel; Extending The Cutting Thread; Working With The Metal Cutting Blade - Grizzly MTS 52-15 E2 Translation Of The Original Instructions For Use

Working with the Thread Reel

• On small grass areas, hold the equip-
ment at an angle of approx. 30° and
turn evenly to the right and left with a
semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with
maximum grass length of 15 cm. If
the grass is longer, mowing several
times is recommended.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, go slowly around the
obstacle with the equipment and cut
with the thread tips.
• Avoid contact with solid obstacles
(stones, walls, board fences etc) oth-
erwise the thread will quickly wear
out. Use the edge of the protective
cover to keep the equipment at the
correct distance
Caution! Do not place the cut-
ting head on the ground during
operation!

Extending the cutting thread

The equipment comes with a double-
thread tap mechanism, i.e. both threads
extend if the cutting head is tapped on
the ground.
1. Hold the equipment in operation over
a grassy area and lightly tap the cut-
ting head a few times on the ground.
This extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter included in the pro-
tective cover cuts the thread to the
desired length.
If the thread ends no longer extend:
• Switch off the equipment.
• Press the reel insert until it stops and
give a strong pull on the thread end.
If no thread ends are visible:
• Replace the thread reel (see chapter
on Changing the Reel).
Caution! Thread remnants may
be thrown out and cause inju-
ries.
Working with the Metal
Cutting Blade
When working, always wear the
carrying strap and appropri-
ate protective clothing. Wear
eye, ear and head protection.
Ensure that the cutting blade
is installed properly. Replace
damaged or blunt tools. Risk of
injury.
Use the cutting blade only to work
on open, level areas. Inspect
carefully the area to be cut and
remove all foreign bodies. Avoid
impacts on stones, metal or other
obstacles. The metal cutting blade
could be damaged and there is a
risk of recoil.
• When working, hold the cutting head
over the ground and swing the equip-
ment slowly to and fro in an even
curve, like a strimmer.
• Do not hold the cutting head at an an-
gle.
• Do not use the equipment to cut un-
controlled growth, undergrowth or
scrub.
• Check the metal cutting blade regu-
larly for damage and replace dam-
aged cutting blades.
