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 rotating iine
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.
