Some small secrets about how to use your brushcutter or flush professionally, avoiding damage to the lawn and leave cutting marks uneven
How does the trimmer wire
The brushcutter with a trimmer head allows to operate also in areas where there are obstacles without risk of damage.
The basic principle of its operation is that a wire is made to turn at high speed reaches a high voltage, due to the centripetal force due to the acceleration. This tension makes the wire hard while the inertia force generated provides the energy needed to cut the grass.
The power of cut of a cutting wire lies in the ends of the wire: the more you move quickly and freely, the better will be the result.
Even if you use a model of professional brushcutterto cut the grass evenly, not just place the trimmer on the grass and expect that the wire cuts the lawn in the perfect measure. We need to implement cutting techniques and have a few tips to get the best results.
The direction of rotation of the thread trimmer
The first thing to look at when using your brushcutter on the thread in the most appropriate way is the direction of rotation of the wire.
During operation, the trimmer has no need to expel the residues derived from the cut. If the wire of the brushcutter rotate counterclockwise and the debris will be ejected towards the left side. This means that the brushcutter can be used on its right side. On the contrary, if the wire turns in the clockwise direction and the debris will go to the right, allowing you to cut better from the left side.
If the debris are ejected in the same direction of the cut, it will accumulate along the path, clogging the brush cutter and ruining the cutting of the grass will not be uniform.
Get perfect edges with the trimmer wire
To get a professional cut on the edges, you can tilt the trimmer so that the wire hits the grass with a slight angle, tapering the cut near the fence, wall, tree, etc. By tilting the wire of the brush cutter towards the object against which it is to trimming of lawn you cut less grass, and it creates a slight gradient effect. If you do not have this foresight you could have strips of grass shorter than the rest of the lawn.
Where the surface of the object is more or less parallel to the grass (in the case of the catwalk, for example), you can instead tilt the trimmer by placing the wire in the vertical and walking along the cutting path. This will create the effect of edging clean and professional.
When you are faced with an obstacle difficult to raggirabile or when the grass is particularly high, and finally, it is possible to work by moving the cutting wire so as to draw the "U" in horizontal on the grass. This movement is repeated for the entire length of the obstacle overlapping slightly each movement to the previous one in order to get a clean cut and uniform.
