CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
TRIMMING:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to cut.Tilt the head slowly to
direct debris away from you. If cutting up to a barrier such as fence, wallor tree,approach from
an angle where anydebris ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from you.Move the line head
slowly until the grass is cut right up the barrier,but do not jam(overfeed )the line into the barrier.
If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If you
go to far the line will 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, just
use the very end of the line to wear through thestem slowly.
WARNING
DANGER
Do not use a steel blade for edging or scalping.
SCALPING AND EDGING:
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep angle Scalping is removing top growth
leaving the earth bear.Edging is trimming the grass back where ithas spread over a sidewalk or
drive way.During both edging and scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a position where the
debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones,will not come back towards you even if it ricochets off
the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to edge and scalp every oprator must find for
himself the angles which suits his body size and cutting situation.
WARNING
DANGER
Do not trim in any area where there are strands of fencing wire. Wear protective safety protecting,
Do not cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is cutting.
