WORKING TECHNIQUES
Clearing Sweeping
@@0
• The clearing technique removes all un-
wanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer
head just above the ground and tilt it, Let
the end of the trimmer line strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and
the like. CAUTION! This technique
increases the wear on the trimmer line.
• The trimmer line wears quieker and must
be fed forward mere often when werkh_g
agah_st stones, brick, eencrete, metal
fences, etc. than when coming into con-
tact with trees and wooden fenees.
Cutting
@@0
• The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that
is difficult to reach using a normal lawn
mower, Keep the trimmer line parallel to
the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing
the trimmer head against the ground as
this can ruin the lawn and damage the
tool,
• Do not allow the trimmer head to con-
staefly come into contact with the ground
during normal cutting. Constant contact
of this type can cause damage and wear
to the trimmer head.
@@@
• The fan effect of the rotating line can be
used for quick and easy clearing up.
Ho_d the trimmer line parallel to and
above the area to be swept and move
the tool to and fro.

• When cutting and sweeping you should
use full throttle to obtain the best results.
WARNING:
Neither the operator
of the machine nor anyone else may
attempt to remove the cut material
while the engine is running or the
trimmer line is rotating, as this can
result in serious injury. Stop the
engine and trimmer head before you
remove material that has wound
around the drive shaft as otherwise
there is a risk of injury. The bevel
gear can get hot during use and may
remain so for a while afterwards. You
could get burned if you touch it.
i_ WARNING: Watch out for thrown
objects. Always wear eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attach-
ment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc.
can be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorized persons at a dis-
tance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside
the safety zone of 50 feet (15 me-
ters). Stop the machine immediately
if anyone approaches.
