8 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (10 – 12)
■
Switch on the appliance before approaching
the grass to be cut and then lower slowly to
avoid overloading.
■
Tilt the appliance slightly forwards (approx.
30°) to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly (10).
■
When mowing, swivel the appliance evenly to
the right and left (11).
■
Long grass must be mown in several passes.
Always proceed from top to bottom (11).
■
The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore, do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.
■
If the appliance is overloaded in long grass,
the line will be blocked. Immediately lift the
appliance so it releases. Otherwise, the mo-
tor could be permanently damaged.
■
Do not move the appliance directly against
hard obstacles (e.g. walls), but mow side-
ways. This protects the cutting line (12).
■
Keep the appliance away from delicate
plants. Fold the plant protection bar into the
horizontal position.
■
Allow the appliance to rest on the jockey
wheel when trimming lawn edges. This will
prevent excessive wear of the cutting line
when trimming lawn edges.
