SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grass trimming using the trimmer head
• Hold the trimmer head
just above the ground at
an angle. It is the end of
the cord that carries out
the work. Let the cord
work at its own pace. Do
not press the cord into the
area to be cut.
• The cord 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 cord 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 cord strike
the ground around trees,
posts, statues and the like.
NOTE! This technique
increases the wear on the
cord.
• The cord 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 so
that the cord lasts longer
and to reduce the wear on
the trimmer head.
