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
Don’t 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
Do not trim in any area where there are
strands of fencing wire. Wear protective
safety protecting; Do not cut where you
cannot see what the cutting device is cutting.
