5.3- Tips
Grass trimmer - Working with the Nylon spool line
TRIMMING:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to cut.
Tilt the head slowly to direct debris away from you.
If cutting up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree, approach from an angle where any debris
ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from you. Move the line head slowly until the grass is cut
right up the barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into the barrier.
If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If you go to
far the line will snap off around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a
time. Place the trimmer line head near the bottom of the weed-never high up which could cause the
weed to chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed right through, just use the very end of the
line to wear through the stem slowly
SCALPING AND EDGING:
Both of these are done with the line head tilted at a steep angle.
Scalping is removing top growth, including roots, leaving the earth bare.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a sidewalk or drive way.
During both edging and scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a position where the debris and
any dislodged dirt and stones, will not come back towards you even if it ricochets off any hard
surface.
We recommend to the operator to find for himself the proper angles which suits his body size and
cutting situation.
WARNING! Do not to use a steel blade for edging or scalping
Do not trim in any area where there are strands of fencing wire.
Do not cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is cutting
