OPERATION
• 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:
1. Always work at full throttle.
2. Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke.
• Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine on
52
the ground before you start to collect the cut material.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
CAUTION: Do not work with mowing line longer than
the intended diameter. With a properly mounted
guard, the built-in cutter will automatically adjust the
line to its proper length. Overly long lines can
overload the engine, resulting in damage to the
clutch mechanism and nearby parts.

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. (Fig. 52)
• 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 4
- 4.7 in (10-12 cm) and reducing the engine speed.
Clearing
• The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep
54
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. (Fig. 53)
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.
Cutting
• The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach
using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel to the
ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against
the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool. (Fig.
54)
• Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact
