Working behaviour and working technique (05 – 08)
6 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (05 – 08)
■
Slightly tip the appliance forwards (approx.
30°) to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly (05).
■
When mowing, swivel the appliance evenly to
the right and left (06).
■
Long grass must be mown in several passes.
Always proceed from top to bottom (07).
■
The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore, do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.
■
If the appliance is overloaded in long grass,
the line will be blocked. Immediately lift the
appliance so it releases. Otherwise, the mo-
tor could be permanently damaged.
■
Do not move the appliance directly against
hard obstacles (e.g. walls), but mow side-
ways. This protects the cutting line (08).
■
Keep the appliance away from sensitive
plants. Fold the protective bracket into the
horizontal position.
