To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.

the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier
to collect, e.g. by raking.

firmly again.
6. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
7. Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the
blade by always work at full throttle and avoid the
previously cut material during the return stoke.
8. Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the
cut material.
