Garland XTRIM 900 PG Instruction Manual page 34

English
It is imperative that the engine is turned
off when carrying the machine from one
working area to another. Do not start the
machine in a closed area. The exhaust fumes, the
vapours of the petrol and the chain oil, all contain
carbon monoxide and other dangerous chemical
substances.
In case of gas concentration due to
insufficient ventilation, eliminate from the
work area everything that impedes the
correct flow of air and do not work in this area again
until it is well ventilated and the gas concentration
does not happen again.
Never leave this machine unattended.
Never touch elements that can be hot during
the start up or operating the machine, for
example, the escape, sparks or high voltage
cables.
Always regulate the machine on a flat and stable
surface.
Do not use accessories except those recommended by
our company as otherwise the use of other non original
accessories could cause severe damages to the end
user, to passers-by and to the machine.
7.1. HOLDING AND GUIDING THE MACHINE
Hold the trimmer with your left hand on the handle
and your right hand on the holder in such a way that
you can act on the controls (accelerator and security
switch).
7.2. CUT WITH THE HEADER OF WIRE
WARNING: Wear eye and audible protection at all
times. Do not look directly to the cutting line because
can cause serious damage to the head and the eyes.
Use the head line in difficult areas.
Always wear a face visor when using the machine.
If the header hits a rock or other object stop the
machine and check its status. Do not use damaged or
poorly balanced heads
Remember that the end of the nylon threat is the one
that makes the cut. Get a better result if you do not
introduce the entire head in the cutting area.
Enter the head slowly and let the nylon tips cut the
grass at their own pace.
1. Hold the trimmer in the way that the head do
not touch the ground and with an inclination of
20º in the sense you are cutting.
2. Make cuts from the left to the right to prevent that
the grass fall into the cutting area.
Be careful to not hit the head with rocks or the
ground. The beatings against objects or the ground
will reduce the life of the head, may spoil creating
a dangerous environment for you and the
people close to you.
The nylon threads are shortened with the use, when
they are too short accelerate the engine and press the
head against the ground. Then leave wire from the
head. If you leave too much wire the blade will cut in
excess.
WARNING DANGER: Do not operate the brush
cutter in areas with metallic materials. Always use the
proper protective equipment. Don't use this machine
in areas where you can't see properly.
