GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly
around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate
harmful vibration.
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer
cords. These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit
a particular engine 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
cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the
trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass
being cleared.
•
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the
same diameter.
•
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact.
This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
•
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water
for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that
it lasts longer.
