• 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
trimmer line into work area.

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 ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.
