To operate the grass trimmer
CAUTION:
Make sure that you slow the
engine to idle speed after each operation. A
long period at full throttle without a load on
the engine can cause damage to the engine.
Note:
Clean the cover of the trimmer head when
you attach a new trimmer line to prevent vibrations.
Examine other parts of the trimmer head and clean if
it is necessary.
General work instructions
WARNING:
Be careful when you cut a
tree that is in tension. It can spring back to
its normal position before or after the cut and
hit you or the product, and cause injury.
• Clear an open space at one end of the work area,
and start the work from there.
• Move in a regular pattern across the work area.
• Move the product fully to the left and right, to clear a
width of 4–5 m (13-16 ft) on each turn.
• Clear a length of 75 m (250 ft) before you turn and
go back. Move the fuel can along with you as you
continue.
• Move in a direction where you do not go across
ditches and obstacles more than necessary.
• Move in a direction where the wind makes the cut
vegetation fall in the cleared area.
• Move along slopes, not up and down.
Blade thrust
A blade thrust is when the product moves to the side
quickly and with force. A blade thrust occurs when the
grass blade or saw blade hits or catches on an object
that cannot be cut. A blade thrust can eject the product
or operator in all directions. There is a risk of injury to
the operator and bystanders.
The risk increases in areas where it is not easy to see
the material that is cut.
Do not cut with the area of the blade that is shown in
black. The speed and movement of the blade can cause
blade thrust. The risk increases with the thickness of the
branch that is cut.
