walls, foundations, pavements, around trees,
etc.
This brush cutter may also be used to eliminate
unwanted vegetation from fields, for easy prepa-
ration of the garden or to clear a particular area
of the garden completely.
NOTE
cutting around pavements, foundations, walls,
etc. can cause above average wear on the line.
• CUT / MOVEMENT
Walk at a regular pace, with a side to side move-
ment, similar to traditional scything. Do not tilt
the line head during operation. Try cutting a
small area at the correct height. Keep the line
head at a constant distance from the ground to
obtain an even cutting height (fig. 18).
• PRECISION CUT
Position the brush cutter straight, slightly tilted
until the lower part of the head touches the
ground and the cutting line is in the required
point. Always cut away from the operator. Do not
move the brush cutter by bringing the head with
nylon line towards the operator.
• CUTTING BESIDE FENCES / FOUNDA-
TIONS (Fig. 19)
Bring the line head towards fences, posts, rocks,
walls, etc. slowly, without hitting them hard.
If the line comes into contact with rocks, walls,
foundations etc. it may break or wear. If the line
gets caught up in fencing it may become sev-
ered, breaking suddenly.
• CUTTING AROUND TREES (Fig. 20)
Cut by gradually approaching tree trunks to pre-
vent the line from knocking against the tree.
Walk around the tree from left to right. Move the
end of the line towards the grass to cut, keeping
the line head tilted slightly forwards.
Even with the guard fitted,
NOTE
DAMAGE SMALL BUSHES. The impact of the
nylon line against the trunk of bushes or trees
with soft bark MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO THE PLANT.
• MOWING
In more severe mowing conditions tilt the head
with nylon line about 30 degrees to the left.
Adjust the handgrip if you wish to obtain better
control during this operation.
WARNING!
!
Do not operate in this way
if there is even a slight chance of throwing up
foreign bodies that could harm people, ani-
mals or other objects (fig.21).
WARNING!
!
DO NOT SWEEP WITH THE
BRUSH CUTTER tilting the line head. Do not
use the brush cutter to remove dirt from
pavements, etc.. Your tool is powerful and
can hurl small stones etc. for a distance of 15
metres or more, wounding or injuring people
and animals or damaging to nearby objects
such as cars, windows etc. (fig. 22).
