Basic Working Techniques - Jonsered GT 2126 Manual De Instrucciones

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine
unless you are able to call for help in
the event of an accident.
2. Do not use the machine in bad weather,
such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong
wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and often brings added
risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable
felling direction, etc.
3. Make sure you can move and stand safely.
Check the area around you for possible ob-
stacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.)
in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.

4. Switch off the engine before moving to
anott3er area>
5. Never put the machine down with the engine
running or while the cutting attachment is
rotating,
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.
• It is recommended that the engine not
be operated for longer than 1 minute at
full throttle,
_ WARNING:
Sometimes branches
or grass get caught between the
guard and cutting attachment.
Always stop the engine before
c eaning.
Grass trimming using a trimmer head
Trimming
@OO
• Hold the trimmer head just above the
ground at an angle, It is the end of the trim-
mer line that does the work. Let the trim-
mer line work at its own pace, Never press
the trimmer line into the area to be cut,
• The trimmer line can easily remove grass
and weeds up against wails, 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 trimmer line to 4-4 1/2 inches
(10-12 cm) and reducing the engine speed.
• When trimming you should use less than
full throttle so that the trimmer line lasts
longer and to reduce the wear on the
trimmer head.
Clearing
• The clearing technique removes all un-
wanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer
head just above the ground and tilt it, Let
the end of the trimmer line strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and
the like. CAUTION! This technique
increases the wear on the trimmer line.
• The trimmer line wears quicker and must
be fed forward more often when working
against stones, brisk, concrete, metal
fences, etc. than when coming into con-
tact with trees and wooden fences.
Cutting
@OO
• 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.
