Basic working techniques

Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working 
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on 
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.

Grass trimming with a trimmer head

Trimming

•

Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an 
angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let 
the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord 
into the area to be cut.

•

The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up 
against walls, fences, trees and borders, however it 
can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes, 
and damage fence posts.

•

Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the 
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.

Clearing

•

The clearing technique removes all unwanted 
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the 
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the 
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. 
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the 
cord.

•

The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more 
often when working against stones, brick, concrete, 
metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with 
trees and wooden fences.

•

When trimming and clearing you should use less than 
full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce 
the wear on the trimmer head.

Cutting

•

The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to 
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord 
parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the 
trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the 
lawn and damage the tool.

•

Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into 
contact with the ground during normal cutting. 
Constant contact of this type can cause damage and 
wear to the trimmer head.

Sweeping

•

The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for 
quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to 
and above the area to be swept and move the tool to 
and fro.

•

When cutting and sweeping you should use full 
throttle to obtain the best results.

!

WARNING! Sometimes branches or 
grass get caught between the guard and 
cutting attachment. Always stop the 
engine before cleaning.
