You will achieve the best performance

and minimum line wear by not crowd

ing the line into cutting area. The right

and wrong ways are shown in the fol

lowing illustration.

Tip of the Line Line Crowded Into

Does The Cutting Work Area

e

Right Wrong

• The line will easily remove grass

and weeds from around walls,

fences, trees and flower beds, but it

also can cut the tender bark of trees

or shrubs and scar fences.

• For trimming or scalping, use less

than full throttle to increase line life

and decrease head wear, especially:

• During light duty cutting.

• Near objects around which the line

can wrap such as small posts,

trees or fence wire.

• For mowing or sweeping, use full

throttle for a good clean job.

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the

trimmer head about 3 in, (8 cm) above

the ground and at an angle. Allow only

the tip of the line to make contact. Do

not force trimmer line into work area.

SCALPING - The scalping technique

removes unwanted vegetation. Flold

the bottom of the trimmer head about

3 in. (8 cm) above the ground and at

an angle. Allow the tip of the line to

strike the ground around trees, posts,

monuments, etc. This technique in

creases line wear.

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for

mowing in places conventional lawn

mowers cannot reach. In the mowing

position, keep the line parallel to the

ground. Avoid pressing the head into

the ground as this can scalp the

ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING - The fanning action of

rotating line can be used for a quick

and easy clean up. Keep line parallel

to and above the surfaces being

swept and move the tool from side to

side.

Sweeping

EDGING - Adjust trimmer to the edg

ing position (see TWIST AND EDGE

section). Allow only the tip of the line

to make contact. Do not force trimmer

line into work area.
