Scalping
Mowing
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 ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.
SWEEPING
- The fanning action of the rotat-
ing 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.
