Scaling

To remove unwanted vegetation, hold the trimmer 

head about 5-10cm above the ground and at an 

angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground 

cutting the vegetation off at the surface.

Mowing

Keep the line parallel to the ground and use a gen-

tle side-to-side motion.

When cutting heavy brush, always swing the Brushcutter from right to left. Swinging the Brushcutter from 

left to right can cause the blade to kick back.
