length line and
-maintaining
full speed, and cutting only with the tip of the
nylon line.
When nylon ilne becomes frayed, cut off tip.
: HOW LONG WILL THE LINELAST?
This depends upon two (2) factors,
1. Technique.
2. Wha_
you a_e cutting.
1. Technique. Don't force the line. The trick is to let the tip
of the line do the cutting.
2. Whet you are cutting. The line will naturally wear faster
when you are cutting
against a rock garden as com-
pared to just slashio_q away at weeds.
