Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
check the correct way to load the line and the correct
line diameter.
WARNING! Always stop the engine
!
before doing any work on the cutting
attachment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has
stopped completely and disconnect the
cap from the spark plug before you
start to work on it.
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment
!
may increase the risk of accidents.
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 line. 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 line the engine 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 line
requires greater engine power than a shorter line of
the same diameter.
• Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact. This is 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 before use. This will make
the line tougher so that it lasts longer.
