Trimming procedures
When properly equipped with a debris shield and stringhead, your unit will trim unsightly
weeds and tall grass in those hard-to-reach areas - along fences, walls, foundations and
around trees. It can also be used for scalping to remove vegetation down to the ground for
easier preparation of a garden or to clean out a particular area.
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.
10.5.1
Trimming / mowing (Fig. 5)
Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the stringhead during the
procedure. Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep stringhead at same level
for even depth of cut.
10.5.2
Closer trimming
Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of stringhead is above ground level
and string contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away from operator. Do not pull
trimmer in towards operator.
10.5.3
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.
10.5.4
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 stringhead slightly
forward
