If you are not familiar with the trimming, practice with the machine with the machine stopped.
5.4.1. Always trim or cut with the engine running at high speed.
5.4.2. Do not run the machine slowly except for when warming up before use or cooling down
after use.
5.4.3. Swing the nylon cutting head of the trimmer horizontally from left to right.
5.4.4. Keep cutting deck parallel with the ground. Do not tilt the nylon cutting or blade head
during operation.
5.4.5. For correct cutting height trim a test area in advance.
5.4.6. Keep nylon cutting or blade head at the same level for an even depth of cut. 5.4.7.
Nylon trimming head is only to be used for trimming grass.
5.4.8. Metal blade head is only to be used for cutting brush.
5.4.9. To prevent overheating NEVER over cut, instead cut off smaller lengths of grass or brush.
You MUST also remove any tangled materials – You MUST stop the machine and remove the HT
lead before carrying out this task.
5.4.10. When trimming around trees trim slowly making sure that the nylon cord does not come
into contact with the trunk. Walk around the tree from left to right and approach grass with the
tip of the cutting nylon cord.
5.4.11. To release more nylon cutting cord run the machine at full throttle and tap the nylon
cutting head on the grass. The nylon cord is then released. Any excess cord is cut off by the
trimmer blade mounted on the guard. When trimming near brick or stone walls the nylon cord
will wear out quicker.
