Resumen del manual
• Before starting you must understand the difference between forestry clearing, brush cutting and grass trimming. Quick release On the front is an easily accessible, quick release catch: • Pull out the red strap. • The hip strap and one shoulder strap will be automatically released at the same time and the harness and the engine unit will slide to the ground. Use this if the engine should catch fire or in any other emergency situation when you quickly need to take off the harness and machine. Equal load on shoulders A well matched saw and harness make work much easier. Adjust the harness to give the best working stance. Adjust the side straps so that the weight is equally divided across the shoulders. Off-loading strap The off-loading strap is intended to off-load the weight from the shaft. Adjust the length of the strap so that the cutting equipment balances just above the ground. ! WARNING! When working with the clearing saw the harness should always be worn. If this is not done, you cannot control the clearing saw safely and this can result in injury to yourself or someone else. Never use a harness with a defective quick release catch. English – 11 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Basic clearing techniques • Always carry out clearing and trimming at full throttle. • Always drop to idling speed after each working operation. Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to serious engine damage. Designations • Brush cutting is a general term for clearing grass. Grass blades are used for this purpose. • Grass trimming is a general term for light clearing, e.g. around edges or around trees. A trimmer head or plastic blade is used. !WARNING! Sometimes grass can collect in the spray guard and cutting head. Always stop the engine when cleaning. • A blade is used for all types of high or thick grass. • The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right-toleft is the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the return stroke. Let the blade work on the left-hand side (between 8 and 12 o’clock). • If the blade is angled to the left when clearing the grass will collect in a line, which makes collection easier, e.g. when raking. Brush cutting using a grass 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. • Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions: a) Always work at full throttle. b) Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke. • Stop the engine, loosen the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut material. WARNING! Neither the user of the tool or anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or with the blade rotating as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and blade before you remove material that has wound around the blade as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear unit can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. There is a risk of slight burns if you touch it. ! WARNING! Warning for thrown objects. Always wear protective glasses. Never lean over the guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches. ! 12 – English SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Grass trimming using the trimmer head and plastic blades Trimming • The trimmer is ideal to cut grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool. • Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting procedures. Constant contact can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head. Sweeping • The rotating cord‘s fanning effect can be used for quick and easy cleaning. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the trimmer from side to side. • When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results. !WARNING! Warning for thrown objects. Always wear protective glasses. Never lean over the guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches. • Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the cord that carries out the work. Let the cord work at its o...
