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.

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.
