Q
The tip of the line does the cutting. Allow the line to
trim at its own pace You will achieve better results by
not crowding the line into the cutting area. The right and
wrong ways are shown in Figure 16
o 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. To help avoid damage to vegeta-
tion or trees with tender bark, shorten line to 4-5
inches and use less than full throttle
o The line wiU wear faster and will need to be advanced
more frequently when you are cutting against rocks,
bricks, concrete, metal fences, etc., than when cut-
ting against trees or wooden fences.
o For trimming or scalping, use less than full throttle
to increase line life and decrease head wear':
-- during light duty cutting,
-- next to rocks, bricks, concrete, metal fences, etc.

Avoid letting the trimmer head continuously contact
the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact
will cause trimmer head damage and premature wear
