Wrong
Rgure 22
TRIMMING - Allow only the tip of the line to make con­
tact. Do not force trimmer line into work area.
REMEMBER
Keep dual line
head 3 inches
above
the
ground while
trimming.
Figure 23
SCALPING - The scalping technique removes un­
wanted vegetation. Allow the tip of the line to strike
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This teeth
nique increases line wear.
Figure 24
MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places
conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. Keep the line
parallel to the ground. To avoid scalping the ground and
damaging the unit, do not press dual line head into
ground.
The line will easily remove grass and weeds from around
wails, feoces, trees, and flower beds; but ft also can cut
the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. To
help avoid damage especially to delicate vegetation or
trees with tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 inches and use
at partial throttle.
The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achieve the
best performance and minimum line wear by not crowd­
ing ffie line into cutting area.
For trimming or scalping, use partial throttle to increase­
line life, especially:
- during light duty cutting.
- near objects around which the line can wrap such as
small posts, trees or fence wire.
Always release throttle trigger and allow engine to return
to idle speed when not cutting.
Hold bottom of the dual line head about 3 inches above
ground and at an angle.
Rgure 25
SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rotating line can
be used for a quick and easy clean up. Keep the line par­
allel to and above surfaces being swept and move unit
from side to side.
