CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
TRIMMING:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the
material you wish to cut. Tilt the head slowly to
direct debris away from you. If cutting up to a
barrier such as fence, wall or tree, approach from
an angle where any debris ricocheting off the
barrier will fly away from you, Move the line head
slowly until the grass is cut right up the barrier, but
do not jam (overfeed) the line into the barrier. If
trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence
be careful to feed only up to wire. If you go to far
the line will snap off around the wire. Trimming
can be done to cut through weed stems one at a
time. Place the trimmer line head near the bottom
of the weed-never high up which could cause the
weed to chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut
the weed right through, just use the very end of the
line to wear through the stem slowly.
WARNING

!
DANGER
Do not to use a steel blade for edging or scalping.
SCALPING AND ENGING:
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a
steep angle Scalping is removing top growth leaving
the earth bear.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread
over a sidewalk or drive way. During both edging and
scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a position
where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones,
will not come back towards you even if it ricochets off
the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to
edge and scalp every operator must find for himself the
angles which suits his body size and cutting situation.
WARNING

DANGER

fencing wire. Wear protective safety protecting , Do not
cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is
