For trimming or scalping, use less than full
throttle to increase line life and decrease
head wear, especially:

head about 3 in. (8cm)above the ground and
at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into
work area.

SCALPING
-- The scalping technique re-
moves unwanted vegetationdown to the
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head
about 3 i n. (8 cm)above the ground and atan
angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
This technique increases line wear.
Scalping
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 the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.

SWEEPING
-- The fanning action of the rotat-
ing line can be used for a quick and easy
clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above
the surfaces being swept and move the tool
from side to side.
