Mowing
N Hold your trimmer with both hands –
right hand on the control handle (1)
– left hand on the assist handle (2).
N Stand upright – hold the trimmer in a
relaxed position and always on right
side of your body.
N Make sure the cutting attachment is
not touching the ground or any other
objects.
N Swing the machine to and fro,
keeping the mowing head inclined
forwards at an angle of about 20° –
30°.
N The cutting height is determined by
the distance of the mowing line from
the lawn surface.
N Mow with the left-hand side
wherever possible; cuttings and
stones are thrown away from the
operator in this position.
N Avoid contact with fences, walls,
rocks, etc. since it will result in a
higher rate of wear.
Mowing under Obstacles
The angle of the shaft and mowing head
can be adjusted for easier mowing under
hedges and bushes, see “Adjusting
Angle of Shaft”.
Working with the Bumper (FSE 41 only)
The bumper (1)
– Limits the cutting range of the
mowing line.
– Reduces the risk of the rotating
mowing line causing damage (e.g.
tree bark).
– Maintains the correct ground
clearance when edging.
Edging (FSE 41 only)
The unit can be quickly converted into a
power edger (see "Converting Unit to
Power Edger").
N Use the unit as shown.
N Guide the mowing line along the
edge of the lawn – hold the unit at
the right height or use the bumper.
Disposal
Do not throw cuttings into the garbage
can – they can be composted!
