Tip of the Line Line Crowded Into
Does The Cutting Work Area
Right
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.
For mowing or sweeping, use full
throttle for a good clean job.
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
