TREE
MOWING
•The nylon line will effectively mow large areas of heavy grass and/or weeds. Use the standard 12.5 to 15 cm (5 to 6 in) of line and operate at full throttle.
•When mowing cultivated areas such as lawns hold the cutter head parallel to the ground to avoid scalping.
SCALPING
1.The cleaning of weeds and grass right down to the earth can be accomplished very easily with the nylon line.
2.Scalping around trees and brushes is particularly effective, but care should be exercised not to bruise the bark of young and sensitive growth.
3.In flower beds, always remember that the nylon line will cut in a complete circle to avoid cutting flowers instead of weeds.
SWEEPING
Sweeping grass and other debris from a hard surface can be done very quickly.
