bent, twisted, cracked, broken or

damaged in any other way. Never attempt

to straighten a twisted blade so that it

can be reused. Only use original blades

of the specified type.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Trimmer head

IMPORTANT!

Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and

evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will

generate harmful vibration.

Only use the recommended trimmer heads and

trimmer cords. These have been tested by the

manufacturer to suit a particular engine 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. This will make the line

tougher so that it lasts longer.
