CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
TRIMMING:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material
you wish to cut. Tilt the head slowly to direct debris
away from you. If cutting up to a barrier such as fence,
wall or tree, approach from an angle where any debris
ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from you, Move
the line head slowly until the grass is cut right up the
barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into the
barrier. If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked
fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If you go to far
the line will snap off around the wire. Trimming can be
done to cut through weed stems one at a time. Place the
trimmer line head near the bottom of the weed-never
high up which could cause the weed to chatter and catch
the line. Rather than cut the weed right through, just use
the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
WARNING
Do not to use a steel blade for edging or scalping.
SCALPING AND ENGING:
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep
angle Scalping is removing top growth leaving the earth
bear.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread
over a sidewalk or drive way. During both edging and
scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a position
where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones,
will not come back towards you even if it ricochets off
the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to
edge and scalp every operator must find for himself the
angles which suits his body size and cutting situation.
WARNING
Do not trim in any area where there are strands of
fencing wire. Wear protective safety protecting , Do not
cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is
cutting.
