TRIMMING:
Ÿ
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material to be cut. Tilt the head slowly to
direct debris away from you. If cutting up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree,
approach from an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from
operator. Move the line head slowly until the grass is cut right up the barrier, but do not
jam(overfeed )the line into the barrier.
Ÿ
If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to wire,
else the line may snap off around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through weed
stems one at a time. Place the trimmer line head near the bottom of the weed-never
high up which could cause the weed to chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut the
weed right through, use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
SCALPING AND EDGING:
Ÿ
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep angle Scalping is removing
top growth leaving the earth bear.
Ÿ
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a sidewalk or drive way.
During both edging and scalping, hold the unit at a steep angle and in a position
where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones, will not come back towards the
operator even if it ricochets off the hard surface.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not trim in an area where there are strands of fencing wire.
