vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will
be less likely to “weld” onto the spool.

S The line will easily remove grass and
weeds fromaroundwalls,fences, treesand
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.
S For trimming or scalping, use less than full
throttle to increase line life and decrease
head wear, especially:
S During light duty cutting.
SNear ob jects around which the line can wrap
such as small posts, trees or fence wire.
