• Cutting in motion (Scything)
Proceed at a regular pace, with a circular motion similar
to a traditional scythe, without tilting the cutting line head
during the operation.
First try cutting at the right height in a small area, so as to
then achieve a uniform cutting height keeping the cutting
line head at a constant distance from the ground.
For heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the cutting line
head by about 30°.
WARNING! Do not work in this way if there is the
possibility of causing objects to be thrown, which
could harm people and animals and cause damage.
• Precision cutting (Trimming)
Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the lower part of
the cutting line head does not touch the ground and the
cutting line is at the required point, always keeping the
cutting device at a distance from the operator.
• Cutting near fences/foundations
Slowly approach the cutting line head to fences, posts,
rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them hard. If the line
strikes a solid object it could break or become worn; if it
gets tangled in a fence it could break abruptly.
In any case, cutting around pavements, foundations,
walls, etc. can cause greater wear than normal in the line
• Cutting round trees
Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching the
trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree with the line and
keeping the cutting line head tilted forward slightly.
Remember that the nylon line could lop or damage small
shrubs and that the impact of the nylon line against the
