WHEN TO REMOVE THE GLIDER
The Glider is for ground-supported trimming, which is not a
recommended technique for trimming heavy vegetation.
Do not use the glider for slashing heavy weeds or vines. Remove the
glider and reinstall the stock cap before trimming very tall grass.
MINIMIZE WRAPPING
When trimming tall vegetation, start from the top and work your way
down to avoid long strands wrapping in the mechanism.
