Maintaining the Trimming Line
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the trimming line to
wear down quickly or break.
•
Frequently check and adjust the trimming line length. Refer to
Adjusting the Trimming Line Length
. Always keep the trimming
line fully extended.
•
DO NOT
force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many passes as are
necessary to achieve the desired depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
