Trimming
The grass blade is best used for quick trimming tasks and post-
mowing touch-ups. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head above
the ground and at an angle if desired. Allow only the blade to
make contact. Do not force the blade into work area (Fig. 18).
Scalping
The SharperBlade™ can be used for scalping. The scalping
technique removes unwanted vegetation down to the ground.
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (8 cm) above
the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the SharperBlade
™
to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
NOTE: This technique increases SharperBlade
™
wear (Fig. 19).
Mowing
Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the
SharperBlade
™
parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head
into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the
tool (Fig. 20).
