OPERATION
Fig. 6
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• To improve performance and maximize the life of the line blades,
operate the unit at the recommended speed when performing
particular tasks:
• Trimming - Operate the unit at higher speeds.
• Decorative Trimming (against fences or other hard objects) -
Operate the unit at lower speeds.
• Edging - Operate the unit at lower speeds.
• For most operations, rest the glider on the ground and cut from
side to side.
• To direct clippings away from the operator, tilt the cutting head
slightly down to the right; cut from left to right whenever possible.
• The height of the glider is not adjustable. To lower the cutting
height, tilt the glider to the side. To increase the cutting height,
lift the glider off the ground.
• Cut tall grass from the top down by lowering the cutting head
onto the grass.
• Do not trim wet grass or weeds.
• Frequently inspect the glider for vegetation wrapped around the
shaft. Always stop the engine and remove any debris before
continuing the operation.
NOTE: Some line blade breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line blade fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick vegetation
• Forcing the line blades into objects such as walls or fence posts
