CUTTING WITH A TRIMMER 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 ba-
rrier. 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. Pla-
ce the trimmer line head near the bottom of
the weed-never high up which could cause
the weed to chatter and catch the line. Ra-
ther than cut the weed right through, just
use the very end of the line to wear through
the stem slowly.
WARNING / DANGER
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.
