WORKING
TECHNIQUES
Cutting
QOO
• The trimmer
is ideal for cutting grass that
is difficult to reach using a normal lawn
mower. Keep the trimmer
line 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 con-
stantly come into contact
with the ground
during normal cutting. Constant
contact
of this type can cause damage
and wear
to the trimmer
head.
Sweeping
QOO
• The fan effect of the rotating line can be
used for quick and easy clearing
up.
Hold the trimmer
line paralleI 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:
Neither the operator
of the machine nor anyone else may
attempt to remove the cut material
while the engine is running or the
trimmer line is rotating, as this can
result in serious injury. Stop the
engine and trimmer
head before you
remove material that has wound
around the drive shaft as otherwise
there is a risk of injury. The bevel
gear can get hot during use and may
remain so for a while afterwards. You
could get burned if you touch it.
WARNING:
Watch out for thrown
objects. Always wear eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attach-
ment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc.
can be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorized
persons at a dis-
tance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside
the safety zone of 15 m.
Stop the machine immediately
if
anyone approaches.
