Tip of the Line

Does The Cutting

Right

Wrong

Line Crowded Into

Work Area

S

The line will easily remove grass and

weeds from around walls, fences, trees and

flower beds, but it also can cut the tender

bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. To

help avoid damage especially to delicate

vegetation or trees with tender bark,

shorten line to 4--5 inches (10--13 cm) and

use at less than full throttle.

S

For trimming or scalping, use less than full

throttle to increase line life and decrease

head wear, especially:

S

During light duty cutting.

S

Near objects around which the line can

wrap such as small posts, trees or fence

wire.

S

For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for

a good clean job.

TRIMMING

-- Hold the bottom of the trimmer

head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground

and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to

make contact. Do not force trimmer line into

work area.

Trimming

3 inches (8 cm)

above ground

SCALPING

-- The scalping technique re-

moves unwanted vegetationdown to the

ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head

about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and

at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the

ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.

This technique increases line wear.

Scalping

MOWING

-- Your trimmer is ideal for mowing

in places conventional lawn mowers cannot

reach. In the mowing position, keep the line

parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the

head into the ground as this can scalp the

ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING

-- The fanning action of the rotat-

ing line can be used for a quick and easy

clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above

the surfaces being swept and move the tool

from side to side.

Sweeping
