Operating Tips

•
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
•
The string trimmer cuts when you move it from left to
right. This prevents the trimmer from throwing debris
at you.
•
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
the string head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences can cause the string to wear rapidly
and even break. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
can also cause the string to wear rapidly.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. The string can easily damage tree
bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts.
