TraPS FOR BEST TRmMMmNG RESULTS
• Keep the cutting attachment paraHeH to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. AHow the tip of
the Hineto do the cutting, especially along walls.
Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting
efficiency and may overload the engine.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from
top to bottom in small increments to avoid
premature line wear or engine drag.
• Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to
the right improves the unit's cutting efficiency.
Clippings are thrown away from the operator.
• Slowly move the trimmer in and out of the cutting
area at the desired height. Move either in a forward-
backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter
lengths produces the best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
• Following the trimming techniques
• What vegetation is being cut
• Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming
against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming
around a tree.
DECORATIVE TR_MM_NG
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all
vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more.
Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at
a 30" angle to the ground (Fig. 13).
