• For groups of thin trees:
a) Cut the outer trees high up.
b) Cut the outer trees to the correct height.
c) Cut from the center. If you cannot get access to
the center, cut the outer trees high up and let
them fall. This decreases the risk that the saw
blade becomes blocked.
Grass clearing with a grass blade
CAUTION:
and grass knives on wood. Use grass blades
and grass knives for long or heavy grass
only.
• Move the product from side to side.
• Start the movement from right to left when you cut.
Move the product to the right before you cut again.
• Cut with the left side of the grass blade.
• Angle the grass blade to the left to make the grass
fall in a line. This makes it easy to collect the grass.
• Keep a stable position with your feet apart.
• Move forward after each right movement and make
sure that you have a stable position again before you
cut again.
• Keep the support cup with a light pressure against
the ground to make sure that the grass blade does
not hit the ground.
• Obey these instructions to decrease the risk that cut
material winds around the grass blade:
a) Apply full throttle.

Do not use grass blades
b) Do not move the grass blade through cut
material when you move the product from left to
right.
• Before you collect the cut material, stop the engine
and remove the product from the harness. Put the
product down on the ground.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
To trim the grass
1. Hold the trimmer head immediately above the
ground at an angle. Do not push the trimmer line
into the grass.
2. Decrease the length of the trimmer line by 10-12
cm / 4-4.75 in.
3. Decrease the engine speed to decrease the risk of
damage to plants.
4. Use 80 % throttle when you cut grass near objects.
To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
2. A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
3. The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left
is the clearing stoke and the movement from left-to-
right is the return stoke. Let the left-hand side of the
blade (between 8 and 12 o'clock) do the cutting.
4. if the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass,
the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier
to collect, e.g. by raking.
5. Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet
apart. Move forward after the return stoke and stand
firmly again.
6. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
