Mowing

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.

SWEEPING

The fanning action of the rotating line can be used for a quick and easy clean up. Keep the line parallel to and
