ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY

CUTTING TIPS (FIG. 6)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is
the best cutting area (28).
Do not cut in dangerous cutting area (27).
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force bump
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
