User tips for trimmers and petrol strimmers

Before using a trimmer or petrol strimmer, make sure you are familiar with the manual, and are confident in completing the particular garden job. For safety, also remember that any rotating cutting tools can throw objects or cut the operator. Trimmers and strimmers can be equally as dangerous.

A/ Make sure you read through, understand, and adhere to instructions in the petrol strimmer manufacturer's operating manual.

B/ Hold the trimmer or strimmer firmly with both hands.

C/ Before use be sure that the throttle lever springs back to idle position.

D/ Check that the blades or cord coil is adjusted properly and is tight.

E/ Replace bent, warped, damaged or dull cutting apparatus.

F/ Select equipment with anti-vibration components. If you are using this for jobs in the larger home garden, you will be thankful you chose the right strimmer.

Checklist for using grass trimmers and petrol strimmers

A/ Keep people (especially children) away from starting and petrol strimmer operating areas.

B/ Check area for stones, glass, metal and debris. Clear before strimmer use.

C/ Refuel the petrol strimmer engine before starting work. The engine needs to be cool to do this. If refuelling is required before the job is completed, make sure you wait for the engine to cool. Fuel will often splash on to the hot engine.

D/ Replace or tighten all loose or damaged petrol strimmer parts or guards. This is particularly important for high powered petrol strimmers which can take metal blades.

E/ If using an electric strimmer, know where the cable is at all times. F/ Start the strimmer or trimmer on firm ground or other solid surfaces in an open area.

G/ Unless you adjust the harness to suit the working position it will become uncomfortable very quickly.

H/ Use a petrol strimmer at ground level only.

I/ Shut off petrol strimmer engine before cleaning out clogged or stuck cutter.

J/ Stop the engine before putting the strimmer or trimmer down.

K/ Disconnect the spark plug when the equipment is left unattended.

L/ Secure cutter to prevent fuel spillage and damage during transport.

Final pointers for petrol strimmer and trimmer use.

A/ Do not leave the petrol strimmer running unattended.

B/ Do not wear short trousers or short sleeves whilst operating.

C/ Do not use metal blades in stony areas.

D/ Do not overreach. Ensure proper footing and balance at all times.

E/ Do not repair damaged petrol strimmer attachments - discard them.

Your petrol strimmer or trimmer will give you the finish in your garden you are looking for. Always consider safety.

Autumn gardening - Rock Gardens Autumn is the major time of the year for a rock garden overhaul. Any fallen leaves need to be removed and the stems of rampant plants must be cut back - don't delay this because once the rockery is overrun by weeds and/or ends up completely swamped by one or two alpines that have run amok, you have no choice but to tear the whole planting up and begin again.

Autumn gardening - September Vegetables In the autumn it's vital to pick crops so that they are always tender and fresh - never leave crops for more than a day or two before picking - especially beans, peas and courgettes.

Autumn Gardening - Wildlife You may not know it, but your garden in autumn is a bit like Heathrow airport! The search for a reliable food supply and/or a safe place to spend the winter months means wild animals are currently on the move and if your garden offers nectar, fruit and berries, or protection from the worst of the weather, expect a wide variety of visitors.

Autumn Gardening - Fences How are your fences? Looking a bit sad and tired? Autumn is the time to tidy up and paint or stain wood.

Autumn gardening - Lawn care It's traditional to give lawns a pick-me-up in September, to revitalise them after dry summer weather and to ensure they are fit enough to get through winter.
