CUTTING TIPS (See Fig. 7)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
The string trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris
at the operator.
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs,
and wood may wear strings rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be
damaged by the strings.
