NOTE: Even if you are careful, trimming around foundations, brick or stone walls, curves, etc., will result
in above-normal string wear. To renew the wire, press the lower spool knob against the ground with
rotating trimmer.
TRIMMING / MOWING
Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the string-head during the procedure.
Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep string-head at same level for even depth of cut.
CLOSER TRIMMING
Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of string-head is above ground level and string
contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away from operator. Do not pull trimmer in towards
operator.
FENCE / FOUNDATION TRIMMING
Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock walls and foundations slowly to cut
close without whipping string against the barrier. If the string comes in contact with rock, brick walls, or
foundations, it will break or fray. If string hits fencing, it will snap off.
10.3.4 TRIMMING AROUND TREES
Trim around tree trunks slowly so string does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming from left to
right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the string and tilt string-head slightly forward
10.3.5 SCALPING
WARNING: Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of 30 meters (100 feet) between
operator, other people and animals during these operations.
Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the string-head to about a
30 degree angle to the right. By adjusting the handle you will have better control during this operation. Do
not attempt this procedure if there is any chance that flying debris could injure the operator, other people,
or cause damage to property
10.3.6 DO NOT SWEEP WITH TRIMMER
Sweeping refers to tilting string-head to sweep away debris from walkways, etc. Your trimmer is a
powerful tool and small stones or other such debris may be hurled 50 feet (15 metres) or more, causing
injury or damage to nearby property such as automobiles, homes and windows.
10.4 CUTTING WITH BLADES
AVOID KICKOUT: Kickout refers to the reaction of a moving blade if it contacts a strong tree, brush or a solid
object. The force that results violently pushes the blade away in an arc. Kickout may cause loss of control
resulting in injury to the operator or bystanders.
