SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation. Hold
the bottom of the trimmer head about 3
in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an
angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike
the ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for
mowing in places conventional lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing
position, keep the line parallel to the
ground. Avoid pressing the head into
