remove vegetation down to the ground for
easier preparation of a garden or to clean out a
particular area.

Trimming / mowing
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
Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so
bottom of stringhead is above ground level and
string contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always
cut away from operator. Do not pull trimmer in
towards operator.
Fence / foundation trimming
Approach trimming 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 hits fencing, it will snap off.

contact 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

caution when SCALPING.
