Trimming at fences and foundations
IMPORTANT!
Do not touch fixed structures - danger of
kickback!
1. Guide the machine slowly and carefully, without
allowing the cutting line to strike against obsta-
cles.
Trimming around tree trunks
1. Carefully and slowly guide the machine around
tree trunks so that the cutting line does not
touch the tree bark.
2. Mow from left to right around tree trunks.
3. Strike the grass and weeds with the tip of the
line, and tilt the spool head forward slightly.
Trimming along stone walls, foundations and
trees results in increased line wear.
Mowing
1. Slant the spool head at a 30 degree angle to
the right.
2. Turn the hand grip to the required position.
IMPORTANT!
Remove foreign bodies from the working
area.
Danger of injury/damage to property due to
objects being thrown out.
