ous ways for carrying out different functions
The operator is able to sustain the machine with
the aid of a harness and can operate the main
controls, always keeping a safe distance from
the cutting device.

ing a nylon line (e.g. around the edges of
lawns, flowerbeds, walls, fences and small
grassy areas to tidy up the cutting done using
a mower).
– cutting tall grass, dry branches, twigs and
woody shrubs of up to 2 cm diameter, with the
aid of metal or plastic blades.
