Helpful Cutting Tips
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncutgrass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear stringrapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or othersurfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 12" (304.8 mm)high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cuttingarea.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at theoperator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by thestring.
