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.
• 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 10-12 cm and reducing
the engine speed.
Clearing
• The clearing technique removes all unwanted
vegetation. Keep 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.14).
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. 15)
• Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly
come into contact with the ground during
normal cutting. Constant contact of this type
can cause damage and wear to the trimmer
head.

Sweeping
• The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used
for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord
parallel to and above the area to be swept and
move the tool to and fro (Fig. 16).
• When cutting and sweeping you should use
full throttle to obtain the best results.
WARNING: Never cut, when visibility is
poor or in very high or low temperatures or in
freezing weather.
