Scalping and edging (See fig.14,15)
WARNING: Do not use a steel blade for edging or
scalping.
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep angle.
Scalping is removing top growth.Edging is trimming the grass
back where it has spread over a sidewalk or drive way. During
both edging and scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a
position where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones, will
not come back towards you even if it ricochets off the hard
surface. Although the picture shows how to edge and scalp every
operator must find for himself the angles which suits his body
size and cutting situation.
WARNING:Do not trim in any area where there are
strands of fencing wire (See fig.16). Wear protective
safety protecting, Do not cut where you cannot see what the
cutting device is cutting.
CUTTING WITH A BLADE
WARNING: Do not use a brush cutter for cutting trees.
There are many different types of blades, however the two most commonly used are the following.
BRUSHBLADE is used for cutting brush and weeds up to 3/4” in diameter. Only 255mm 3-blade can be
used in this type of brush cutter.
WARNING: Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged
metal blade. Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions
such as boulders, metal stakes or strands of wire from broken
fences. If an obstruction cannot be removed, mark its location so
that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and metal will dull or
damage a blade (See fig.17). Wires can catch on the blade head
and flap around or be thrown into the air.
