TRIMMING / MOWING (Fig. 11). Swing trimmer with

a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the

stringhead during the procedure. Test area to be

trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep stringhead at

same level for even depth of cut.

CLOSER TRIMMING (Fig. 12). Position trimmer

straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of string-

head is above ground level and string contact occurs

at proper cutting point. Always cut away from opera-

tor. Do not pull trimmer in toward operator.

FENCE/FOUNDATION TRIMMING. Approach trim-

ming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock

walls and foundations slowly to cut close without

whipping string against the barrier. If the string comes

in contact with rock, brick walls, or foundations, it will

break or fray. If string snags fencing, it will snap off.

TRIMMING AROUND TREES. Trim around tree

trunks with a slow approach so string does not con-

tact bark. Walk around the tree trimming from left to

right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the

string and tilt stringhead slightly forward.

SCALPING (Fig. 12). Scalping refers to removal of all

vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the

stringhead to about a 30 degree angle to the left. By

adjusting the handle you will have better control dur-

ing this operation. Always keep a distance of 50 feet

(15 meters) from other people and animals when

scalping. Do not attempt this procedure if there is any

chance flying debris could injure operator, other peo-

ple or cause damage to property.

OPERATING AS AN EDGER (Fig. 14). With the unit

configured as an edger, hold it so the motor is to your

left side so that debris is thrown to the rear. Always

use eye protection.
