Working behaviour and working technique (07 – 09)
3. Hold auxiliary handle (05/1) in one hand and
upper grip (05/2) in the other hand.
4. Press (05/a) the safety button (05/3) in the
upper grip (05/2).
5. Press and hold (05/b) the On/Off switch
(05/4) in the upper grip (05/2). The tool starts.
The safety button (05/3) can be released.
6. Allow the lawn trimmer to run at idling speed
for a few moments. This causes the cutting
line to be cut off to the correct length.
7. The appliance switches off when the ON/OFF
switch (05/4) is released.
WARNING!
Danger of cutting injuries
After the appliance has been switched
off, the spool head continues to rotate
for a few seconds. Reaching into the
spool head during this time can result in
cutting injuries.
■
Wait until the spool head has come
to a complete standstill.
7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (07 – 09)
■
Switch on the appliance before approaching
the grass to be cut and then lower slowly to
avoid overloading.
■
Tilt the appliance slightly forwards (approx.
30°) to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly (07).
■
When mowing, swivel the appliance evenly to
the right and left (07).
■
Long grass must be mown in several passes.
Always proceed from top to bottom (09).
■
The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore, do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.
■
If the appliance is overloaded in long grass,
the line will be blocked. Immediately lift the
appliance so it releases. Otherwise, the mo-
tor could be permanently damaged.
■
Do not move the appliance directly against
hard obstacles (e.g. walls), but mow side-
ways. This protects the cutting line (08).
■
Keep the appliance away from delicate
plants. Fold the plant protection bar into the
horizontal position.
