Trimming

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

3 inches (8 cm above ground

SCALPING - The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Al- low the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monu-

ments, etc= This technique increases line wear.

Scalping

SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rotating line can be used to blow away loose debris from an area. Keep the line parallel to and above the area surface and swing the tool from side to side.
