CUTTING METHODS

,i_WARNING: Use minimum

speed and do not crowd the line when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard.

•The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achieve the best perform- ance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting

area. The right and wrong ways are shown below.

wor__

RightWrong

•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.

•For trimming or scalping, use less than full throttle to increase line life and decrease head wear, especially:

•During light duty cutting.

•Near objects around which the line

can wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire.

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Al- low only the tip of the line to make

contact with vegetation. Do not force trimmer line into work area.

SCALPING - The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold the bottom of the trim- mer 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.

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.
