WORKING TECHNIQUES Grass trimming with a trimmer head WARNING! Sometimes branches or ! grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment. Always remove the battery before cleaning. • 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 line can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the line parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro. Trimming • Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the line that does the work. Let the line work at its own pace. Never press the line into the area to be cut. • When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results. • The line 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 line 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 line strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the line. • The line 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 (80%) 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 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. English - 19
