etc. Wire can break offduring cutting

can cause serious injury.
CU'I'rlNG METHODS
Use minimum speed and do not
crowd the hne 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 seri-
ous hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve the best performance
and minimum line wear by not crowd-
ing the line into the cutting area. The
right and wrong ways are shown be-
low.

SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation down
to the ground. Hold the bottom of the
trimmer head about 3 in. (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.
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 line will easily remove grass and ._,_L_ f.
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 dam-
age especially to delicate vegetation
or trees with tender bark, shorten line
to4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less
than full throttle.
• For trimming or scalping, use less
than full throttle to increase line life
and decrease head wear, espsclally:
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 in. (8 cm) above
the ground and at an angle. Allow only
the tip of the line to make contact. Do
not force trimmer line into work area.

SWEEPING - The fanning action of
the rotating line can be used for a
quick and easy clean up. Keep the
line parallel to and above the surfaces
being swept and move the tool from
side to side.
EDGING - Adjust trimmer to the edg-
ing position (see TWIST AND EDGE
section). Allow only the tip of the line
to make contact. Do not force trimmer
line into work area.
