TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
(TRIMMER)
•
For most operations, cut from side to side.
•
To direct clippings away from the operator, tilt the cutting head
slightly down to the left; cut from right to left whenever possible.
•
Cut tall grass (over 8 inches (20cm)) from the top down by
lowering the cutting head onto the grass.
•
Cut with the tip of the trimming line.
•
Cut in small increments. Move slowly. Do not force the unit.
•
Do not trim wet grass or weeds.
NOTE: Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick vegetation
• Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
