When re winding, be SURE to wind the line in the direction of
lhc; arrow indicated on the spool.
FRAYED
ENDS
Shou,_d your !foe become frayed, it !oses some of its cutting
efficiency.
To SHARPEN your line, simply snip off the frayed
end with a wire snipper -or
the like. However,
when cutting
around
bushes having a tender balk, frayed
ends work to
your advantage.
The Weedwacker
is ideal for trimming
next to trees, wails,
fehee and other difficult areas, however,
line breakage will
occur
more frequently
from repeated contact
against hard
objects.
GENERAL
TRIMMING
For most
trimmfng
the unit is TILTED
TO THE LEFT at
approximately
30 degrees (Fig, 5},
For most
"trimming*,
tilt
the
unit
at approximately30
degrees
to the
Fig.S
ALWAYS
trim
to the L{_FT SIDE only because
WEED-
WACKER
wili throw the trimming
forward.
When
you trim
to the dght side, trimmings will be thrown
back toward
the
operator.
HOW
TO TRIM
WALKWAYS,
DRIVEWAYS,
CURBS,
ETC.
The purpose of EDGING is to keep the grass from growing
over
walkways,
driveways,
curbs
and the
like.
Because
edging
the
conventJonar
way
was
the
ONLY
way
to
a_+complish
this,
most
people
through
habit,
want
to
continue
edging
in
this
manner.
This
usually
invotves
DIGGING A TRENCH along the border. We suggest a SAFER
and QUICKER METHOD,
Let your grass grow across the trench.
Use WEEDWACKER
to trim the grass off the walk Ior whatever)
by SKIMMING
ALONG
THE TOP OF THE WALK
(see iltusti'ation
below,
figure 6L
This method will give your Iawn a more 'nat.ura{ look," and
eliminate
,the dangers associated
with conventional
edgers.
MOWING
There is a faster,
more efficient
way to reach [hose small
hard-to-get-to
areas that
you can't
reach with your
lawn
mower+
USE YOUR
WEEDWACKER.
Simply pass your
WEEDWACKER
over the areas you wish to cut, keeping the
cutting
head parallel to the ground.
DO NOT use the usual
30 degree cutting
angle when
mowing as in figure 5.
MANICURING
--
THE
PROFESSIONAL
YARD_CARE
LOOK
For a beautiful
manicured
look most gardeners "close crop"
around[tees,
bushes,
posts, etc. This "close crop" trimming
not only improves
the appearance
of the Iawn but it elimi-
nates weekly maintenance
in these areas tO only three or four
times during the entire summer season.
If you'd like to try this, follow
the below instructions
. . .
STEP I -- WaJ,k around the tree to the LEFT SIDE, forcing
the line into the ground
with a 30 degree tit[. Cut the OUT-
SIDE PERIMETER of the circle (see fi#ere 7 below),
STEP 2 -
Next, walk in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION and
manicure the INSIDE of the circle, flush to the tree or bush
(see .figure 8 be!0wl.
