CUTTING TIPS

See Figures 16 -17.

nAvoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 15.)

nKeep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.

nThe curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in illustration.

nUse the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.

nWire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.

nAvoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
