Tips for best trimming results
(Fig. 6)
◾
The correct angle for the cutting
attachment is parallel to the ground.
◾
Do not force the trimmer. Allow the
very tip of the line to do the cutting
(especially along walls). Cutting with
more than the tip will reduce cutting
efficiency and may overload the
motor.
◾
The cutting height is determined by the distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
◾
Grass over 8 inches (200 mm) should be cut by working from top to the bottom in
small increments to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
◾
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the
cutting head position at the desired cutting height. This movement can be either
a forward-backward motion or a side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths
produces best results.
◾
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
◾
Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or breakage. Stone and brick
walls, curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.
◾
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the strings.
ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE
LENGTH
The trimmer head allows the operator to
release more cutting line without stopping
the motor. As line becomes frayed or
worn, additional line can be released by
lightly tapping the trimmer head on the
ground while operating the trimmer
(Fig. 7).
