Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
•
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
•
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
check the correct way to load the line and the correct
line diameter.
Always remove the battery before you work on any part of
the cutting equipment. It continues to rotate even after the
throttle control has been released. Check that the cutting
equipment has stopped completely and remove the
battery before you start any work on it.
Trimmer head
WARNING! Always use recommended
!
trimmer line. See technical data. Failure
to follow this instruction may cause
personal injury.
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer line is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer lines. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular motor size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.

•
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing
using a cord the engine must throw out the cord
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the
resistance of the grass being cleared.
•
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of
the same diameter.
•
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
•
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in
water for a couple of days before use. This will make
the cord tougher so that it lasts longer. Different line
lengths can result in unnecessary vibrations. Tap the
trimmer head to get correct lengths on the line.
