TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
. For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle°
- Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip
of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls.
Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting ef-
fidency and may overload the engine
- Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from
top to bottom in small increments to avoid prema -
ture line wear or engine drag.
, Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting
area at the desired height° Move either in aforward-
backward or side-to-side motion,, Cutting shorter
lengths produces the best results
•Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
-The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
1.Proper adherence to explained trimming techniques
2,.What vegetation is cut
3.Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming
against afoundation wall asopposed to trimming
around atree,
Some line breakage will occur from:
•Entanglement with foreign matter
•Normal line fatigue
•Attempting to cut thick, stallo/weeds
•Forcing the line into objects such aswalls or fence posts
