• 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 trim-
mer head about 3 inches (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.
Scalping
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
rotating line can be used to blow away
loose debris from an area. Keep the line
parallel to and above the area surface
and swing the tool from side to side.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USE WITH WEED BLADES
• Blade Thrust is a reaction that only
occurs when using a bladed unit. This
reaction can cause serious injury
such as amputation. Carefully study
this section. It is important that you
understand what causes blade thrust,
how you can reduce the chance of its
occurring, and how you can remain in
control of unit if blade thrust occurs.
• WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -
Blade Thrust can occur when the
spinning blade contacts an object that
it does not cut. This contact causes
the blade to stop for an instant and
then suddenly move or "thrust" away
from the object that was hit. The
"thrusting" reaction can be violent
enough to cause the operator to be
propelled in any direction and lose
control of the unit. The uncontrolled
unit can cause serious injury if the
blade contacts the operator or others.
• WHEN BLADE
THRUST
OCCURS
- Blade Thrust
can occur without
warning
if the blade snags, stalls, or
binds. This is more likely to occur in
