Working with the brush cutter
Kickback – backstroke
When working with metal blades, a kickback of the whole
machine or a sudden pull forwards may occur if fixed objects
(trees, branches, stones or the like) are hit. Such a kickback
occurs abruptly without advance warning and may result in loss
of control of the machine and hazards to the operator. There is
a particular hazard in badly visible and overgrown areas.
To keep the control in case of kickback
Always hold the machine firmly with both hands when
working.
Always hold the machine that the guide tool is always
guided below the waist.
Make sure that you have a safe stand. Keep your feet
conveniently spread and be always alert to a possible
kickback.
Do not overestimate your abilities and always keep your
balance when working.
The cutting blade should have reached its full speed before
cutting.
When brushcutting, stones and debris may be thrown
up and cause serious injuries. Make sure that the
safety guard is safely mounted.
Failure to install rotating parts (cutting blades)
correctly may result in severe accidents. Check the
cutting tool for secure seating before starting work.
Mowing
Tilt the device slightly toward the front and guide it with
quiet and steady movements in a curve from the right to the
left. This way, the cut material falls on the already mowed
area.
Cut higher grass and denser growth in several passes.
For this, shorten the upper portion of the material to be cut at
first by moving the device to the right. Then, move the device
to the left and cut the lower portion of the material to be cut.
When working on slopes mow in stripes. Mow a stripe
parallel to the slope. Move then back on the mowed area
and mow the next stripe.
Larger, level areas are best worked from the outside to
the inside. Start mowing at the left outer edge of the area
and move in a square spiral movement toward the middle.
Adjust the engine speed and cutting height to the
prevailing conditions. If the engine speed is too low, scrub
can entangle in the cutting tool or get stuck.
If grass, scrub or other objects entangle in the cutting
tool or if the device vibrates abnormally, immediately
stop the engine and check the machine.
Never remove jammed material while the cutting blade is
still rotating. Wait until the cutting blade stands still.
If the cutting blade is dull, broken or bent, replace it by a
genuine spare part.
Working with the grass trimmer
Trimming
Switch on the grass trimmer on a level, already moves area.
During the cutting process, keep the grass trimmer at a
sufficient distance from your body, tilt the machine slightly
forward and move it smoothly and evenly from left to right.
Always hold the machine that the guide tool is always guided
below the waist.
You will get the best trimming results when you cut dry
grass.
Wet grass is harder to cut and causes blockages more
quickly.
Cut higher grass and denser growth in several passes
to avoid blockages.
Start along walls, trees, fences, lawn edges or other
obstacles at a certain distance from the obstacle and work
forward step by step. Do not guide the cutting thread directly
at walls and paving stones. Otherwise it will prematurely
wear off.
Guide the product around trees and shrubs so that the plants
are not damaged.
Adjust the engine speed and cutting height to the
prevailing conditions. If the engine speed is too low, scrub
can entangle in the cutting tool or get stuck.
If grass, scrub or other objects entangle in the cutting
tool or if the device vibrates abnormally, immediately
stop the engine and check the machine.
The cutting thread is after-running once the lawn trimmer
has been cut off. Therefore wait until the thread is stationary
before you restart the product.
Working with the hedge trimmer
When may I cut?
Follow the country-specific or communal legal regulations for
cutting hedges (including hedge banks, shrubbery, reed bed
and reeds). It may deviate from the following.
For the protection of animals and breeding birds, the cutting
(radical cutting) of hedges, but also bushes, reed bed and
reeds is not permitted from 1 March to 30 September.
During this time, gentle shaping and pruning are permitted, in
which only the fresh growth of the plants is removed or cuts to
maintain the health of trees.
A radical cutback or grubbing-up is only possible from October
to March without violating the law.
When is the right time for cutting?
Observe the right time for cutting to prevent harming your
hedge unnecessarily.
Depending on the type of your hedge, the time for cutting
differs.
Recommendations:
Deciduous hedges are pruned shortly before winter or until
the end of February.
