3. Place the loop into the groove at the end of the rear handle and lock into place as shown in Figure 4-1.
4. Connect the extension cord to the power cord on the trimmer.
5. Plug the extension cord into a receptacle ONLY when you are ready to operate the trimmer.
4-2. TRIMMER OPERATION
1. TRIMMING / MOWING (Figure 4-2). Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the
stringhead during the procedure. Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep stringhead at same
level for even depth of cut (Figure 6).
2. CLOSER TRIMMING (Figure 4-3). Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of stringhead is
above ground level and string contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away from operator. Do not
pull trimmer in toward operator.
3. FENCE/FOUNDATION TRIMMING. Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock walls and
foundations slowly to cut close without whipping string against the barrier. If the string comes in contact with
rock, brick walls, or foundations, it will break or fray. If string snags fencing, it will snap off.
4. TRIMMING AROUND TREES. Trim around tree trunks with a slow approach so string does not contact bark.
Walk around the tree trimming from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the string and tilt string-
head slightly forward.
5. SCALPING (Figure 4-4). Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the
stringhead to about a 30 degree angle to the left. By adjusting the handle you will have better control during this
operation. Always keep a distance of 100 feet (30 meters) from other people and animals when scalping. Do
not attempt this procedure if there is any chance flying debris could injure operator, other people or cause dam-
age to property.
6. OPERATING AS AN EDGER (Figure 4-5). With the unit configured as an edger, hold it so the motor is to
your left side so that debris is thrown to the rear. Always use eye protection.
7. SWEEPING - DO NOT SWEEP WITH TRIMMER (Figure 4-6)
8. DO NOT BUMP TRIMMER (Figure 4-7). A "bump" will not advance line. For fresh line follow Section 2-2 "REX
DISPOSABLE CUTTING HEAD INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL".
