Trimmer Head - Husqvarna 129DJx Operator's Manual

General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the
risk of accidents.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass knifes and grass
blades
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters
using a single-cut flat file.
• Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of
the blade.
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is
!
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or
damaged in any other way. Never attempt
to straighten a twisted blade so that it
can be reused. Only use original blades
of the specified type.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Trimmer head

IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.
• Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer lines. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular motor size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
• Smaller machines generally require small trimmer
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing
using a line, the motor must throw out the line radially
from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of
the grass being cleared.
• The length of the line is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter line of
the same diameter.
• Make sure that the cutters on the trimmer guard are
intact. These are used to cut the line to the correct
length.
• To increase the life of the line it can be soaked in water
for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so
that it lasts longer.
