31. Trimming techniques
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before running your device, read notes in chapters 3 and 4 of this manual.
CAUTION
IF YOU are NOT familiar with the trimming techniques, practice with the DEVICE in the "STOP"
position (turned off).
ALWAYS TRIM OR CUT AT HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS. Never run the device slowly at the beginning of (or
during) the trimming operation.
ALWAYS MAKE AWAY DISTANCE IN THE WORKING AREA from cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Whirling
objects can cause serious injury to users or bystanders and damage the device. If an object is
accidentally knocked, immediately stop the ENGINE and check the device. Never run the device with
damaged or defective parts.
Never lift the nylon cutting head above knee height during operation.
Never run the device on a slope if there is a chance of sliding or losing stability.
RELEASING THE NYLON THREAD
To release the new thread, run the engine at full throttle and tap the nylon cutting
head onto the lawn. The threaded head automatically releases further threads. The
blade in the protective shield cuts off the excess thread.
CAUTION:
Grass deposits occur when fibres of the weed are entangled around the shaft under
the protective shield. This prevents the shaft from cooling correctly. Remove grass
deposits with a screwdriver or similar tool only when the device is switched off.
Manual_FX-MS125_Int24_Rev1
Remove grass deposits regularly to prevent overheating of the drive axle.
