Scything weeds
This is cutting by swinging the blade in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field
grass and weeds. Scything should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody
growths.
Scything can be done in both directions, or just in one way which results in the
debris being thrown away from you.
That is using the side of the blade that it is rotating away from you. Tilt down the
blade slightly on this same side. You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both
directions.
6. Hedge trimmer operation
Warning! Never place the cutting head on the ground while the machine is running.
-
When using the machine on lawns, hold the scythe at an angle of 30º C and perform
semicircular movements by sweeping the ground from left to right.
-
The best results are obtained when the grass is 15 cm high. When the grass is higher, we
recommend repeating the mowing several times.
-
It is recommended to cut the trapezoidal hedges to prevent the lower branches from being
stripped. This corresponds to the natural growth of plants and hedges can be potentially
prosperous. The cut makes the new annual shoots reduced, so a dense branching and a
good protection of the sight must be considered.
-
First, cut the edges of a hedge. Move the hedge trimmer to cut the part that grows greatly
from bottom to top. If you cut from top to bottom, the thinner branches move outward;
Narrow places or holes may form.
-
Cut the top of the hedge, just like a roof or a round shape.
-
Cut the seedlings into the desired shape. The main stem must be intact and remain until
the hedge reaches the proposed elevation. All other shoots should be cut to half.
7. Checking and adjusting the idle speed
WARNING!
The cutting attachment must never rotate at engine idle speed.
The engine must return to idle speed whenever the throttle trigger is released
Idle speed is adjustable and must be set low enough to permit the engine clutch to
disengage the chainsaw when throttle trigger is released.
Start the engine and allow it to idle two or three minutes, or until it warm Up.
-
If the cutting attachment rotates at engine idle, reduce idle speed by turning the idle
-
adjusting screw counter clockwise as necessary.
Important! Use a tachometer, if available, to set engine idle. Standard idle speed is:
3000 + 200.
If the engine is stalling and does not idle, increase idle speed by tuning screw the idle
-
adjustment screw clockwise.
