How to: Clear grass with a grass blade
To clear grass with a grass blade
1. Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on woody stems.
2. A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
3. The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right to-left is the clearing stoke and the movement from left-toright is the return stoke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between 8 and 12 o'clock) do the cutting.
4. if the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect, e.g. by raking.
5. Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stoke and stand firmly again.
6. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
7. Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by always work at full throttle and avoid the previously cut material during the return stoke.
8. Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.
