EDGING

While edging allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line.

The edge guard helps protect the unit and keeps the unit from contacting the

ground. Take extra caution while edg- ing as objects can be thrown from the

trimmer line.

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.

Sweeping

_.

The scalping technique removes un- wanted vegetation. 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.
