MOWING

places conventional lawn mowers
cannot reach. In the mowing position,
keep the line parallet to the ground.
Avoid pressing the head into the
ground as this can scalp the ground
and damage the tool.

SCALPING
The scalping technique removes un-
wanted vegetation down to the ground.
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the
ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of
the line to strike the ground around
trees, posts, monuments, etc. This tech-
nique increases line wear.
