WORKING TECHNIQUES
To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be
pulled backwards. Pull the blade backwards with a quick,
firm movement.
and cut from the centre of the group. If it is still difficult to
gain access, cut the stems high up and let them fall.This
will reduce the risk of jamming.
Large stems must be cut from two sides. First determine
which direction the stem will fall. Make the first cut on the
felling side. Then finish cutting the stem from the other
side. Adjust the cutting pressure to match the size of the
stem and the hardness of the wood. Small stems require
more pressure, while large stems require less pressure.
Grass clearing using a grass blade
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the
clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the
return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between
8
and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your walking pace to
suit.
If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the machine free. If
you do this the blade, bevel gear, shaft or handlebar may
be damaged. Release the handles, grip the shaft with
both hands and gently pull the machine free.
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the
grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect,
e.g. by raking.
Brush cutting with a saw blade
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.
Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly
again.
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is
used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work with a
sawing movement, swinging sideways.
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by
following these instructions:
Try to cut several stems in a single sawing movement.

Always work at full throttle.
With groups of hardwood stems, first clear around the
group. Start by cutting the stems high up around the
outside of the group to avoid jamming.Then cut the stems
to the required height. Now try to reach in with the blade
Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut
material.
