TRIMMER OPERATION
1. TRIMMING / MOWING (Fig. 15).
Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion
from side to side. Do not tilt the string
head during the procedure. Test area to
be trimmed for proper cutting height.
Keep string head at same level for even
depth of cut.
Fig. 15
2. CLOSER TRIMMING (Fig. 16).
Position trimmer straight ahead with a
slight tilt so bottom of string head is
above ground level and string contact
occurs at proper cutting point. Always
cut away from operator. Do not pull
trimmer in toward operator.
Fig. 16
3. FENCE/FOUNDATION TRIMMING.
Approach trimming around chain link
fences, picket fences, rock walls and
foundations slowly to cut close without
whipping string against the barrier. If the
string comes in contact with rock, brick
walls, or foundations, it will break or fray.
If string snags fencing, it will snap off.
Use wire guide.
4. TRIMMING AROUND TREES. Trim
around tree trunks with a slow approach
so string does not contact bark. Walk
around the tree trimming from left to right.
Approach grass or weeds with the tip of
the string and tilt string head slightly
forward.
5. SCALPING (Fig. 17). Scalping refers to
removal of all vegetation down to the
ground. To do this, tilt the string head to
about a 30 degree angle to the left. By
adjusting the handle you will have better
control during this operation. Always
keep a distance of 50 feet (15 meters)
from other people and animals when
scalping. Do not attempt this procedure if
there is any chance flying debris could
injure operator, other people or cause
damage to property.
