TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS (AS A TRIMMER)
• To direct clippings away from the operator, tilt the cutting head
slightly down to the right; cut from left to right whenever possible.
• Do not trim wet grass or weeds.
NOTE: Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter
• Normal line fatigue
• Attempting to cut thick vegetation
• Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
DECORATIVE TRIMMING (AS A TRIMMER)
When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate the whole
unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 14).
