7.4 Practical tips

Practice all operating techniques with the engine 

switched o

ff

  before you start to use the equip-

ment.

8.  Working with the petrol power 

scythe

Extending the cutting line

Caution!

 Do not use any kind of metal wire or 

metal wire encased in plastic in the line spool. 

This may cause serious injuries to the user. 

To extend the cutting line, run the engine at full 

speed and tap the line spool on the ground. This 

will automatically extend the line. The blade on 

the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate 

length (Fig. 9b).

Important:

 Remove all grass and weed remnants 

at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube over-

heating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become 

trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 9c) and 

prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate 

ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using 

a screwdriver or the like.

Di

ff

 erent cutting methods

When the equipment is correctly assembled it 

will cut weeds and long grass in places which are 

di

ffi

  cult to access, e.g. along fences, walls and 

foundations and also around trees. It can also 

be used for „mowing“ down vegetation so that a 

garden can be better prepared or a certain area 

cleared down to the soil. 

Please note:

 Even if it is used carefully, cutting 

around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. 

will result in the line su

ff

 ering more than normal 

wear.

Trimming/mowing

Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything 

motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the 

ground. Check the site and decide which cutting 

height you require. Guide and hold the line spool 

at the required height to obtain an even cut (Fig. 

9d).

Low trimming

Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight 

angle so that the underside of the line spool is 

above the ground and the line strikes the correct 

target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw 

the trimmer towards yourself.

Cutting along fences/foundations

Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural 

stone walls and foundations slowly so that you 

can cut close to them without striking the obstac-

le with the line. If, for example, the line strikes 

stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or 

fray.

If the line strikes wire fencing, it will break.

Trimming around trees

When trimming around tree trunks, approach 

slowly so that the line does not strike the bark. 

Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Ap-

proach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and 

tilt the line spool forwards slightly. Warning! Take 

extreme care during mowing work. When doing 

such work keep a distance of 30 meters between 

yourself and other people or animals.

Mowing

When mowing, you want to cut all the vegetation 

down to the ground. To do this, set the line spool 

at an angle of 30° to the right. Place the handle in 

the required position. Remember the increased 

risk of injury to the user, watchers and animals, 

and the danger of damaging property due to ob-

jects (for example stones) being thrown up (Fig. 

9e).

Warning!

 Do not use the equipment to remove 

objects from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a 

powerful tool and can throw small stones and 

other objects a distance of 15 meters or more, 

causing injuries and damage to cars, houses and 

windows.

Sawing

The equipment is not suitable for sawing.

Jamming

If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting 

to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch o

ff

  the 

engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub 

from the equipment before you restart it.

Preventing recoil

When you work with the blade, there is a risk of 

recoil if it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, 

branches, tree stumps, stones or the like. This will 

throw the equipment backwards in the direction 

opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause 

you to lose control of the equipment. Do not use 

the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary
