WORKING TECHNIQUES

English – 19

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.

Grass clearing using a grass blade

• Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on

woody stems.

• A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse

grass.

• The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging

movement, where the movement from right-to-left is

the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-

right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the

blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.

• 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.

• Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet

apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand

firmly again.

• Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It

is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.

• Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade

by following these instructions:

1Always work at full throttle.

2Avoid the previously cut material during the return

stroke.

• Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the

machine on the ground before you start to collect the

cut material.

Grass trimming with a trimmer head

Trimming

• Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an

angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let

the cord work at its own pace. Never 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.

CAUTION! 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.

!

WARNING! Sometimes branches or

grass get caught between the guard and

cutting attachment. Always stop the

engine before cleaning.

!

WARNING! Machines fitted with saw

blades or grass blades can be thrown

violently to the side when the blade

comes into contact with a fixed object.

This is called blade thrust. A blade thrust

can be violent enough to cause the

machine and/or operator to be propelled

in any direction, and possibly lose

control of the machine. Blade thrust can

occur without warning if the machine

snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is

more likely to occur in areas where it is

difficult to see the material being cut.

Avoid cutting with the area of the blade

between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock

positions. Because of the speed of

rotation of the blade, blade thrust can

occur if you attempt to cut thick stems

with this area of the blade.
