10.5.1 Trimming / mowing
Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to
side. Do not tilt the stringhead during the procedure.
Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height.
Keep stringhead at same level for even depth of cut.
10.5.2 Closer trimming
Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so
bottom of stringhead is above ground level and
string contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always
cut away from operator. Do not pull trimmer in
towards operator.
10.5.3 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 hits fencing,
it will snap off.
10.5.4 Trimming around trees
Trim around tree trunks slowly 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 stringhead slightly
forward
10.5.5 Scalping
WARNING: Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of 30
meters (100 feet) between operator, other people and animals during these
operations.
Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to
the ground. To do this, tilt the stringhead to about a
30 degree angle to the right. By adjusting the handle
you will have better control during this operation. Do
not attempt this procedure if there is any chance
that flying debris could injure the operator, other
people, or cause damage to property
10.5.6 Do not sweep with trimmer
Sweeping refers to tilting stringhead to sweep away debris from walkways, etc. Your trimmer
is a powerful tool and small stones or other such debris may be hurled 50 feet (15 metres) or
more, causing injury or damage to nearby property such as automobiles, homes and windows.
