Information About Cutting

A short or worn thread will cut bad-
ly. In case of deteriorating cutting
performance, it should therefore be
checked whether the thread reel is
still presenting enough thread. For
this, read the chapter on "Extend-
ing the cutting lines".
• Before starting the trimmer check
that the cutting head will not
come into contact with stones,
rubble or other foreign bodies.
• Switch on the trimmer before you
approach the grass that is to be cut.
• Do not cut moist or wet grass.
• Do not overload the trimmer dur-
ing operation.
• Avoid contact with obstacles
(stones, walls, fences, etc.) as
this will rapidly wear out the lines.
• Always trail the extension cable
behind you. Do not pass the
operating trimmer over the exten-
sion cable as the cable could be
damaged.
Cut the grass by
swaying the trimmer
sideways to the right
and left. Cut slowly,
keeping the appli-
ance inclined for-
ward slightly when
cutting.
Cut tall grass by a series of levels from
top to bottom.
