C. CUTTING
METHODS
• The tip of the line does the cutting. Allow the line to
trim at its own pace. You will achieve better results by
....
not eroding
the line into the cutting area. The right and
wrong way are shown in Figure/3.
• The line will easily remove grass and weeds from
around walls, fences, trees and flower beds, but it
also can cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar
fenceA To help avoid damage to vegetationor trees with
tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 inches and use tess than
full throttle.
• The line will wear faster and willneedto be advanced
• more ti_uenfly
whenyou are cutting against rocks,
bricks, concrete, metal fences, etc., than when cut-
ring against trees or wooden fences.
• For trimmingor
scalping, use less than full throttle
to increase line life and decrease head wear.
-- during light duty cutting.
--next to rocks, bricks, concrete, metal fences, etc..
e-Formowingorsweeping,
use full throttle for a good
clean job.
• Avoid letting the trimmer head continuomly contact
_
the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact
will causetrimmer
head damage and premature wear.

TRIMMING
,-. Figure

Hold the tap button about 3 inches above the ground and
tilt thetrimmer head atan angle. Allowthe tip oft.he line
todothe cutting. Do not force the trimmer line into the
workarea.
2. SCALPING -- Figure 15
•The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation.
Hold the tap button about 3 inches above the ground and
tilt the trimmer head at an angle° Allow the tip of the line
to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments,
etc. This technique increases line wear.

MOWING
-- Figure
16
Yo_ar t rimmer is ideal formowing in places conventional
lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position,
keep the line parallel tothe ground, Avoid pressing the
head into the ground as this _:an scalp the ground and
..damage
the tool.
