The brush cutter fitted with a cord head can only
be used to cut lawns - especially in the presence
of obstacles - and cut brushwood and scrub to the
ground. The cord head is particularly suitable for
trimming around posts and trees. The brush cutter
fitted with a grass cutter blade may only be used
to cut lawns without obstacles and cut scrub and
bramble to the ground.
ATTENTION: The standard version of the brush cutter
cannot be used in other ways.
A
DJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE NYLON CORD
Always check the length of the cord in the supplied
head before use. This head features a semi-auto-
matic system for adjusting cord length. When the
cord is short, start the machine and hit the cord
head on soft ground a few times. The cord comes
out automatically. Excessive cord length is cut by
the adjustment blade mounted on the guard.

ECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
F
. 11
IG
Observe the relevant safety instructions when
using the brushcutter.
Carry the power tool on your r.h. side.
Approach the area to be cleared with the motor
switched OFF; then start the motor before dip-
ping the cutter into the working area.
With your thumb, initially press the locking but-
ton (1) and then additionally the ON/OFF switch
(2) with your index finger. Then release the lock-
ing button again. Release the ON/OFF switch to
switch the motor OFF again.
The rotational direction of the cutting tool makes
the operation on the l.h. side of the cutting tool
(from the operator's viewpoint, subject to the
brushcutter being held correctly) particularly free
from kicking. Therefore, always approach the
area to be cut from the right.
This brings the l.h. side of the cutting tool into
contact with the material to be trimmed first.
Particularly when cutting tougher growth (such
as medium sized weeds and wild growth) with a
grass cutter blade, ensure that you do not
"stab" the front of the brushcutter into the ma-
terial to be trimmed.
Work at a regular pace and move from side to
side as though you were using a traditional
scythe. Do not incline the cord head while work-
ing. Try and cut a small area to the right height.
Keep the cord head at the same distance from
the ground in order to obtain a uniform cutting
height.
Immediately switch OFF the motor, if you notice
any unusual vibrations or cuttings have wrapped
themselves around the cutting tool or have
jammed near the guard. Pull the mains plug
from its socket and clear the cutting tool of
grass, brush etc.
Check the entire power tool for perfect condi-
tion.

When using the nylon head, always ensure that
you operate only with the correct length of line.
When the guard is fitted, the line will always be
trimmed to the permissible length automatically
(a line trimming blade is fitted into the guard
bar).
Therefore, when operating with the nylon head,
the guard bar must always be fitted, together
with the integral line trimming blade, to the
standard guard.
