Line Crowded
Into
Work Area
• The
line will
easily
remove
grass
and
weeds from around walls, fences, trees and
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.
• For trimming or scalping,
use less than full
throttle to increase line life and decrease head
wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting.
• Near objects
around
which the line can
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence
wire,
• For mowing or sweeping,
use full throttle for
a good clean job,
