b. Precision cutting (Trimming)
Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the lower
part of the cutting line head does not touch the
ground and the cutting line is at the required point,
always keeping the cutting means at a distance
from the operator.
c. Cutting near fences/foundations
Move the cutting line head slowly towards fences,
posts, rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them hard
(Fig. 18).
If the line strikes a solid object it could break or
become worn; if it gets tangled in a fence it could
break suddenly.
In any case, cutting
foundations, walls, etc. can cause greater wear
than normal to the line.
d. Cutting around trees
Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching
the trunk slowly so as not to strike the tree with
the line and keeping the cutting line head tilted
forward slightly (Fig. 19).
Remember that the nylon line could lop off or
damage small shrubs and that the impact of the
nylon line against the trunk of bushes or trees with
soft bark could seriously damage the plant.
6.4.1.b 3-point, 4-point blade
Start cutting from above the vegetation and then
descend with the mowing blade to cut branches
by chopping them into small pieces (Fig. 20).
6.4.2 Adjusting the length of the cutting
line head during work
This machine is fitted with an automatic line
release head.
Head line length should be adjusted:
– when the line is consumed and becomes
shorter;
– when engine rotation seems higher than
normal;
– when cutting efficiency seems reduced.
To release new line:
• hit the cutting line head against the ground
(Fig. 21) with the throttle control lever pressed
fully down;
• line is automatically released and the line
cutting knife (Fig. 7.A) cuts the excess length.
