Decorative Trimming; Tips For Best Results - Senix GTC4QL-L Manual Del Operador

DECORATIVE TRIMMING

When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate
the whole unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle
to the ground (Fig. 12).
Maintaining the Trimming Line
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the
trimming line to wear down quickly or break.
• Frequently check the trimming line length. Replace
the trimming line as needed. Refer to Replacing the
Trimming Line.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many
passes as are necessary to achieve the desired
depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
TRIMMING TIPS
• Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body.
• Cut all grass from top to down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string
head which could cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,
and remove the grass.
• Use the tip of line to trim grass; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
• Avoid trees, flowers, stones, walls and other objects
which can cause the line to break.
• Check and feed the line regularly to maintain full
cutting width and performance.
ADJUSTING THE TRIMMING LINE
This unit is equipped with a bump head. Trimming line
can be released from the cutting head without stopping
the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the bump
knob on the ground (Fig. 13) while operating the unit
at high speed. For best results, tap the bump knob on
bare ground or hard soil. Attempting to release line in
tall grass may stall the engine.
NOTE: Do not rest the cutting head on the ground while
the unit is running. Each time the bump knob is tapped,
about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of trimming line is released.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting
line gets shorter.
CAUTION:
Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly.
Excessive line length will make the unit overheat. This
may lead to serious personal injury or damage to the
unit.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

• To direct clippings away from the operator, tilt the
cutting head slightly down to the right; whenever
possible swing the trimmer in a left to right cutting
motion. There is an embossed arrow on the top of
the safety guard indicating the preferred left to right
direction of trimmer operation.
• Do not trim wet grass or weeds.
NOTE: Some line breakage will occur from:
