WARNING:
trimmer line is wound tightly and evenly
around the drum to prevent harmful
vibration.
• Only use recommended trimmer heads and trimmer
lines.
• Only use recommended cutting attachments.
• Smaller machines requires small trimmer heads and
vice versa.
• The length of the trimmer line is important. A longer
trimmer line requires greater engine power than a
shorter trimmer line of the same diameter.
• Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard
is intact. This cuts the trimmer line to the correct
length.
• Soak the trimmer line in water for a couple of days
before use to increase the life length.

• Use the product with an approved grass blade. Do
not use a grass blade without proper installation of
all required parts. Make sure that the installation is
done correctly and that the proper parts are used.

Always make sure the
• Grass blades and grass cutters are used to cut
rough grass.
• A grass blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or the throttle
trigger is released. Make sure that the grass
blade has completely stopped rotating before any
maintenance.
• Stop the engine before you do work on the cutting
attachment. Make sure the cutting attachment fully
stops. Disconnect the lead from the spark plug.
• Only use an approved cutting attachment or a
correctly sharpened blade.
• Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened.
• Do not use a damaged cutting attachment.
• Attach the transport guard to the grass blade when
you transport or store the product.
Blade thrust
• A blade thrust is a sudden movement of the product
to the side, forward or rearward. A blade thrust
occurs when the grass blade hits an object that
cannot be cut. In areas where it is not easy to
see the material being cut the risk of blade thrust
increases.
• When a blade thrust occurs, there is a risk that the
product or the operator moves out of position. A
blade that moves can hit bystanders and there is a
risk of injuries.
• If a blade is bent, has cracks, is broken or damaged,
discard the blade.
• Use a sharp blade. The risk of blade thrust increases
when a blade is not sharp.
