To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
2. A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
3. The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is
the clearing stoke and the movement from left-to-
right is the return stoke. Let the left-hand side of the
blade (between 8 and 12 o'clock) do the cutting.
4. if the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass,
the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier
to collect, e.g. by raking.
5. Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet
apart. Move forward after the return stoke and stand
firmly again.
6. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
7. Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the
blade by always work at full throttle and avoid the
previously cut material during the return stoke.
8. Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the
cut material.
To cut the grass
1. Make sure that the trimmer line is parallel to the
ground when you cut the grass.
2. Do not push the trimmer head to the ground. This
can cause damage to the product.

3. Move the product from side to side when you cut
grass. Use full speed.
To sweep the grass
The airflow from the rotating trimmer line can be used to
remove cut grass from an area.
1. Hold the trimmer head and the trimmer line parallel
to the ground and above the ground.
2. Apply full throttle.
3. Move the trimmer head from side to side and sweep
the grass.
WARNING: Clean the trimmer head cover
each time you assemble new trimmer line to
prevent unbalance and vibrations in the
handles. Also do a check of the other parts
of the trimmer head and clean it if
necessary.
Grass trimmer head
•
Make sure that you wind the grass trimmer line
tightly and equally around the drum to decrease the
vibration.
•
Use only the approved grass trimmer heads and
grass trimmer lines. Refer to
19 .
•
Use a correct length of the grass trimmer line. A long
grass trimmer line uses more engine power than a
short grass trimmer line.
•
Make sure that the cutter on the cutting attachment
guard is not damaged.
•
Soak the grass trimmer line in water for 2 days
before you attach the grass trimmer line to the
product. This increases the life of the grass trimmer
line.
•
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
use the correct procedure to load the cord and the
correct cord diameter.
