WORKING TECHNIQUES
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 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.
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.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming
•
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let
the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord
into the area to be cut.
Grass clearing using a grass blade
•
•
The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up
against walls, fences, trees and borders, however it
can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,
and damage fence posts.
•
•
•
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
Clearing
•
The clearing technique removes all unwanted
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.
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the
cord.
•
•
The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more
often when working against stones, brick, concrete,
metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with
trees and wooden fences.
•
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.
When trimming and clearing you should use less than
full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce
the wear on the trimmer head.
