How to work with a petrol trimmer

How to properly cut grass with a garden trimmer

Working with a lawn mower is quite simple if you know the basic principles and get a little hand filled. Here are some tips to help you get the best results and keep your lawn tidy:

• If you need to cut tall grass or weeds with sturdy stems, mow in double strokes. Cut off the top of the stems first, moving the oblique from right to left, and then mow the rest, moving in the opposite direction.
• If it is necessary to process a large area, you need to divide the area into squares, starting the movement on the outer sides and gradually moving towards the center.
• Work on slopes is carried out according to the following algorithm: start at the bottom, mowing the grass with parallel lines and gradually going up. The grass will fall down onto the already mown area, without interfering with work.
• To mow plants around an obstacle, the protection of the gas trimmer must be considered. Move around the obstacle by gently guiding the tool around it.
• Always use good quality trimmers on your petrol trimmer. When working with fishing line or low-quality knives, the grass may not be cut off, but uprooted. the lawn will quickly become unusable.

Why the lawn mower stalls?

Depending on at what point the trimmer stalls, the reasons may be different.

Idle

It happens that the lawn mower stalls after some time after starting. The reasons may be:

• incorrectly adjusted carburetor;
• contamination of the carburetor, filter or throttle valve;
• air in the carburetor system;
• malfunction in the ignition system;
• lack of gasoline.

How to mow grass with knives

The blades (disc) perform well when working with hard grass or bushes, but there are some safety rules you need to follow. Here are the main points to remember when using knives:

• Knives suitable for cutting tough grass, young trees or bushes.
• The more difficult the task, the larger the diameter of the disc with knives should be.
• Only fit discs to the trimmer with dimensions that match the capabilities of the tool. Otherwise, the trimmer may break.
• If the tool is turned on, it can only mow, but not replace the consumable, lubricate or inspect the petrol trimmer.
• Select discs based on the information on the disc and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not sharpen the knives yourself, this may ruin the part.

If your line is not enough to cut tough grass or shrubbery, you can try installing a reinforced line. Another alternative is a disc with knives. It is suitable for working even with young trees and tough shoots.

Popular questions about how petrol garden trimmers work

In this section, we have answered a few common questions about petrol trimmers.

Running in a new petrol trimmer

If you just bought a tool, you need to run it in. To do this, allow the engine to warm up slightly at idle. During this, set the position of the air damper so that the working part does not rotate. When the trimmer warms up, you need to open the air supply to full, press the throttle lever about 1/2 and hold it for about 1-2 minutes. After that, the trimmer should run in idle mode for 2-5 minutes. Switch between medium and idle speed 3-5 times. After that, you need to let the trimmer run for 5 minutes in idle mode, then turn off the engine and let the tool rest for 15-20 minutes.

After the lawn mower has cooled down, you need to do it all over again. The only difference is that you need to start the trimmer on hot with the air damper open. Try not to hold the gas for very long, as the parts of the tool have not yet ground completely. Also, do not idle for a long time, as the engine may overheat.

In general, the gasoline streamer should be rolled in until the fuel tank runs out of fuel. After that, it is considered that the initial run-in is completed and the tool is ready for use. Remember to monitor the temperature of the motor and gearbox to prevent overheating. A complete break-in is considered to be the development of 5 tanks of the fuel mixture. During this period, it is better not to use the trimmer in difficult conditions. It is worth taking breaks during running in to prevent the engine from overheating. This will extend the life of the tool.

If the device model you have chosen does not make it possible to change the mode, that is, only a fishing line or a knife can be installed in it, then you can skip this item.

Next, you should turn on the device to the network, or charge the battery, or pour fuel into the tank, depending on what type of device you bought. In order to understand how to fill and use the petrol grass trimmer, you will have to open the technical manual, find the type of fuel that is used in this model, and fill the tank with a suitable fuel. Remember that you cannot change the type of fuel yourself, the device may fail or its engine will start to stall.

Petrol Trimmer Precautions

Before starting work with the petrol trimmer, it is necessary to read the owner’s manual. The trimmer should not be used by children. For those around you, a safe distance from the trimmer in operation. minimum 15 m. Inspect the area to be treated. Free it from stones, glass, fittings and wires, if any. Their presence may cause injury or damage to the product. Wear closed shoes with rubber soles, long pants, mittens or gloves, mask (goggles) and headphones.

Do not trim at night without good artificial lighting. Adjust the control handle so that it is comfortable for you to work, choose a stable body position. Do not move between the areas to be treated with the trimmer on. Take breaks from work. The trimmer should be turned off during breaks. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Remember that replacing parts with non-original ones is possible only after checking them against the compatibility table.

Clean cut grass and dirt from the trimmer immediately after finishing work. Do not check the engine in an unventilated area, as exhaust fumes are toxic and can be hazardous to health.

Refueling is done only when the engine is off. Smoking is strictly prohibited during refueling. If any drops of fuel get on any part of the trimmer, wipe them off with a cloth before starting the engine. The engine is started at a distance of at least 1 m from the place of refueling.

For work, use only lines and knives specially designed for your model of trimmer. Using fishing line, metal wire, saw blades, etc. unacceptable. In addition, if damage to the trimmer occurs while using such cutting elements, the warranty will be void. To avoid overloading the engine, do not cut the entire length, but only with the ends of the line.

Be careful when drawing up the fuel mixture, as non-observance of the gasoline-oil proportions recommended for your trimmer model can lead to engine damage. Use only freshly prepared mixture. Do not mix oil and gasoline in the trimmer tank. Prepare the fuel-oil mixture only in a specially designed container with graduated marks and strictly according to the instructions. Remember that a lack of oil leads to damage to the piston group, and an excess of it leads to the appearance of carbon deposits.

Pull out the starter cord slowly and not completely before starting the engine. Too sharp jerk and full extension of the cord. a common cause of breakdowns in the starter mechanism. Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Drain the fuel remaining after operation from the tank no later than 12 hours later. Grass over 20 cm in height should be cut in several passes to avoid winding it around the spool. If winding occurs, stop the engine, carefully free the reel from the grass. For maximum mowing performance, tilt the trimmer forward towards the grass while working.

Watch your line length. If you find that the cutting area is narrowing, stop the engine and lengthen the trimmer line. To do this, disassemble the coil, pass the ends of the line through the inlet holes of the body, re-assemble the coil. In the process of work, make sure that the trimmer line does not touch the curb, paving slabs, tree trunks and other hard surfaces, as this will lead to shortening of the line, damage to the coil. Possibly also getting injured.
